Now Accepting Nominations for the Employee Recognition Program

The Employee Recognition Program Award is an esteemed accolade bestowed on an employee who epitomizes the University’s core values in his/her daily work. The employee is engaged in accomplishing the mission of the University and routinely exceeds the call of duty. Do you work alongside someone who has a strong commitment toward achieving excellence in their work?

Why not nominate them for the Employee Recognition Program award? The program is designed to recognize civil service and professional staff employees for their exceptional accomplishments and service to our community. Employees may be nominated for this prestigious award by faculty, staff or students. The nomination must be made or supported by the immediate supervisor.

Further information about Employee of the Month rewards, nomination criteria and the nomination form can be obtained online.

Nominations are due in the Office of Human Resources by close of business Friday, May 13 to be eligible for the June award. Awards are presented once a month.

Since employees may receive the award only once, please contact Annette Eversole at ext. 2297 before submitting a nomination.
