SDI All Stars

The CIVSA SDI All-Star Award is modeled after the Association’s Foot Awards given at the CIVSA Annual Conference to recognize outstanding attendees who have “left their footprint” or in this case, “shined brightly” during the event.

Only student attendees are eligible for nomination and can be nominated by any attendee of SDI including advisors, graduate students, and fellow students. All nominations are considered, and recipients will be selected by the 2023 Student Development Committee and CIVSA executive Board and announced at the conclusion of SDI.

Nominees can be considered for any reason including, but not limited to, providing a great educational session, being a leader amongst peers, helping others, and/or showing great potential to be a future leader in the field of information and visitor services as a profession.

Nominate a potential SDI All-Star using this QR code or submit through Guidebook®. All nominations must be received by 3 p.m. MST on Saturday, Jan. 7 to be considered.

Our CIVSA Matching activity is SDI's go-to if you're looking for ways to meet new people! At check-in, each student will receive a numbered button on your lanyard.

Find as many people as possible with your button number, take pictures with them, post them using the hashtag #civsasdi2023, and most importantly, talk about the sessions you've attended at SDI and make new friends! Your mission with CIVSA Matching is to connect!

After Education Sessions, submit the feedback form for your session to be entered into a raffle! Be sure to submit after each session to increase your chances of winning.

In addition to our CIVSA SDI All-Star Awards, this year’s SDI will also give two spirit awards: Most Spirited Institution and Most Spirited Individual. Think back to most school spirited superlatives! Most Spirited nominees will display unparalleled pride and enthusiasm for their institution. One institution and one individual will be selected.

Only student attendees are eligible for nomination for Most Spirited and can be nominated by any attendee of SDI - including advisors, graduate students, and fellow students. All nominations will be considered, and recipients will be selected by the 2023 Student Development Committee and CIVSA Executive Board and announced at the conclusion of SDI. Nominees can be considered for any reason including, but not limited to, exhibiting school colors and iconography in dress and decoration, submitting an institutional centerpiece, vocalizing and embodying institutional values, and/or displaying pride through active participation and engagement throughout SDI. Nominate Most Spirited Institution and Most Spirited Individual using these QR codes or submit through Guidebook. All nominations must be received by 3 p.m. MST on Saturday, Jan. 7 to be considered.
