Today is the Deadline for Fall Nominations for the Newly Revised Employee Recognition Program |
|

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 Employee Recognition Program criteria and eligibility have been recently updated. New criteria allow for repeat nominations based on departmental changes and/or length of time from prior award selection.
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.
The program is designed to recognize staff for their exceptional accomplishments and service to our community. Awards are presented once a month at a departmental ceremony. All monthly recipients are also recognized at the annual service awards reception.
For the revised nomination criteria and the updated nomination form, visit EmployeeRecognitionProgram.
October nominations must be received by today.
