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 650-2297 before submitting a nomination.

This digital humanities unconference is a small, open, inexpensive meeting where humanists and technologists of all skill levels learn and build together.

The breakout sessions are loosely formed prior to the conference and finalized the first day of the unconference. This allows for a dynamic, collaborative atmosphere as opposed to a formal, rigid and competitive format of a typical conference setting. 

The theme of this year’s THATCamp is “Engaging Communities through Digital Humanities.”

We invite you to come and share your ideas for digital humanities, community and collaboration.

For more information, contact Lora Smallman at siuethatcamp@gmail.com.

The SIUE Suzuki program has several opportunities for string players this summer! You do not need to be a current SIUE Suzuki program student to participate in either of these.

Summer String Lessons: We offer a six-week summer lesson session, open to anybody, even adults, whether or not you already have playing experience. Summer lessons can help prevent that notorious summer learning loss.

Prices and registration details are available here.

Summer String Camp: We would love to have your string-playing child join us for four days of camp, July 19-22.

All string camp details and registration are available here.

For more information on any of our programs call 650-2839 or email suzukiprogram@siue.edu.
