Hardiman and Delgado were selected by the CSS committee, which reviewed several nominations. The CSS committee is composed of students, faculty and staff. Any campus community member can nominate any Washington and Lee University student by filling out the online form at go.wlu.edu/css. Nominations are always accepted and encouraged.
