Can students or faculty nominate a staff member? Yes, all members of our campus community may nominate a deserving staff member. What if I need HR information, such as a general job description, to fill out the form? Please consult with your divisional HR contact(s) or (if it’s not a surprise nomination) the nominee. Can someone win in both categories? Sure! We recognize that our staff is multi-talented. How are the winners of the awards determined? A selection committee will review all nominations and determine awardees based on the criteria for each award. How many winners will be selected? Up to 25 total awards will be made. When will the winners be announced? The awardees will be announced in early December and invited to a recognition reception in the spring. Will my $1000 prize be taxed? Yes, your prize will be included in your paycheck and deductions will be based on your current tax status.
