The Provost’s Committee for Staff is seeking nominations for its 16th Annual Outstanding Staff and Workgroup Awards, which are presented annually each spring. The deadline for nominations is Friday, Feb. 25 at 5 p.m.
Staff, faculty and students may nominate UNM staff employees including regular current, non-faculty, any individual staff or workgroup who has provided extraordinary service to the Provost’s units.
Previously nominated staff or workgroups may be nominated again, provided the nominee(s) is not a past recipient of the award. A workgroup can be comprised of an office, department, division or section. Current Provost’s Committee for Staff members are not eligible for the award and self-nominations will not be accepted.
Selection criteria includes demonstrated extraordinary achievement in one or more of the following areas: service to UNM or the community; exemplify University values (excellence; integrity & professionalism; diversity within the academic community; creativity & initiative; academic freedom; and access & student success) in an exceptional manner; and/or contribute substantially to significant team or department accomplishments
Members of the Provost’s Committee for Staff will screen nominees. A list of individuals and the workgroup is then forwarded to the Executive Vice President and Provost for Academic Affairs for approval.
The awards ceremony will be held Tuesday, April 5. Executive Vice President and Provost for Academic Affairs Brian L. Foster will present a plaque and a monetary award to the individual staff selected. Certificates will be presented to the winning workgroup. A permanent plaque, listing the workgroup, will be on display in Scholes Hall.
