What does ORHH stand for?

ORHH stands for "Ontario Residence Hall Honourary".

So, what is an OTM Award anyway?

An OTM (Of the Month) award is an amazing way to recognize people or programs for their outstanding influence within residence. The person or program that you recognize will be known not only to your school, but to all schools across Ontario!

Why should I nominate someone?

First of all, it allows you to recognize someone for doing something amazing or a program for really influencing residence life! It will make you feel great for letting someone know how great you think they are and it will make the nominee feel appreciated as well as encourage their behaviour. It won't take you a long time and it's very rewarding!
