The relationship between Omicron Delta Kappa and the institution is paramount. As such, Omicron Delta Kappa requires at least two letters of administrative endorsement: first, a letter from the division or department that will provide direct support and advisement of the Circle, and second, a letter from a senior executive officer of the institution. These letters of endorsement should state the institutional support for the local Omicron Delta Kappa circle and the commitment of the institution to assist the circle as it seeks eligible members of the highest academic standing, moral character, and leadership potential.

Please submit these materials to Brent Anderson (brent@odk.org), Director of Finance and Extension, or attach below.
