Nominate an SIUE Coworker for the Employee of the Month Recognition Program
Do you have an outstanding employee that deserves recognition? Perhaps you have a member of your staff that consistently demonstrates excellence in their work. Then nominate them for the Employee of the Month award.
The Employee of the Month Recognition Program Award is an esteemed accolade bestowed on an employee who epitomizes the University’s core values in his or her daily work. These employees are engaged in accomplishing the mission of the University, upholding our University’s values and routinely exceed the call of duty.
Faculty, staff or students can make nominations, but the immediate supervisor must support the nomination. Employees in their current position for two years and who have not received the award within the last five years are eligible for nomination.
Nomination forms and additional details are available online at siue.edu/human-resources/faculty-staff/employee-recognition-program.
We encourage you to nominate your valued staff members and recognize their hard work and dedication to SIUE.
For more information, please contact Jen Oates-Blair at joatesb@siue.edu or 650-2127.

Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Brad Hewitt Soon to Retire |
|
| |
|
SIUE is announcing the pending retirement of Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Brad Hewitt, PhD, who will leave the department effective June 30 after nearly 17 years in that role.
“April marks 30 years since I first stepped onto the SIUE campus,” said Hewitt. “I could not have known then the impact this institution would have on me both personally and professionally. The time is right for me to move on and pursue other avenues in my life.”
Hewitt spent 22 of his 30 years at the University in the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics. He started his career as assistant director in July 1989. He served in several roles outside athletics from 1995-2002. Outside athletics, Hewitt helped secure funding and led the SIUE Foundation in the construction of Birger Hall.
Hewitt guided SIUE through the transition to Division I athletics under Chancellor Vaughn Vandegrift, PhD. Hewitt orchestrated the expansion and development of seven facilities on the SIUE campus to assure the program’s competitiveness and the eventual move to Division I.
“Brad has served SIUE Athletics exceedingly well,” said Chancellor Randy Pembrook, PhD. “We will immediately begin a national search for a new director of intercollegiate athletics.”
