“Give it the old college try;” Dragon Excellence Award nominations are open
Dragon Excellence Awards Nomination Form | Nominations due on Friday, April 4
Babe Ruth (Babe Ruth’s Own Book of Baseball, 1928) defined “giving it the old college try” as “playing to the grandstand or making a strenuous effort to field a ball that obviously cannot be handled.” It means making a sincere or strenuous effort, similar to how a college student might approach a challenging course or exam.
We want YOUR best effort, too! Nominate your friends and colleagues for the Dragon Excellence Awards, which recognizes colleagues who “give it the old college try” every day!
Finalists will be announced in employee news in April, and awards will be presented at the Celebration of Our Dragon Employees on Friday, May 9, 2025.
