What should be done with special awards for advisors?

The correct answer emphasizes the responsibility of officers in managing the logistics of special awards for advisors. When officers purchase special awards like flowers or gift cards, they demonstrate appreciation for the contributions of advisors and recognize their commitment to students and the organization. By taking this initiative, the officers ensure that the recognition is thoughtful and adequately represents the value of the advisors’ efforts.

While other options might suggest various approaches to honoring advisors, they do not align as directly with the role of the officers in specifically managing and executing the awards. For instance, secretly gifting awards may undermine the recognition's intention by keeping it hidden rather than fostering a sense of appreciation in a public or formal way. Gathering input from students might be beneficial for understanding preferences but does not directly address the logistics of awarding, while requesting school sponsorship, although potentially helpful, may not place the responsibility firmly on the officers themselves to ensure proper appreciation occurs. Therefore, taking direct action through purchasing supports a more immediate and personal celebration of the advisors’ work.
