Prior to submitting nominations to University Support Staff Senate, each college and administrative unit should have in place written procedures for the criteria and selection process. Selection committee membership preferably should include a previous year award winner.
Please refer to the award guidelines. Departments must submit nominations to their respective college deans or major administrative units to their respective vice presidents.
Under this award program, colleges/major administrative units may provide a $300 monetary award — net amount award — to the selected award winner and/or co-recipients. Utilizing department funds or endowment funding, it is understood the departments will be charged a gross amount to include employee deduction, taxes and employer benefits.

Suggested time frame for payment should be in conjunction with the University Support Staff Awards Recognition ceremony. College/major administrative unit/departments may choose to recognize several university support staff employees with monetary awards, but University Support Staff Senate will recognize only the number of winners as listed above from each college/major administrative unit at the ceremony.
