Staff Awards
About the Award
The College of Science acknowledges up to two exemplary staff members every semester with an award and luncheon. The nominating process is open to faculty, and staff who submit nominations based on five different categories. The categories are job performance, successful interaction and/or relationships, college/university-wide service, noteworthy accomplishments that advance the goals of the College of Science, and any additional information they wish to include.
To be considered, nominees must be permanent staff members of the College of Science and have completed 12 months of service. Nominees can not have received the award in the last five years. Faculty and administrators are not eligible for this award.
The Staff Recognition and Award Committee will be made up of past recipients from the previous two semesters. The committee reviews the nominations and chooses the winners.
