College of Natural Sciences staff are extraordinary. Each year, we recognize those members of our staff community who go above and beyond with our College staff awards. In 2017, we are also setting aside a full day, June 15, to celebrate and recognize all College staff.

Staff Celebration

Please save the date for our inaugural Staff Celebration Day. You won't want to miss a range of staff-centered activities, recognition opportunities, and our afternoon awards reception, where a big prize for one outstanding staff member will be unveiled. 

We will also recognize CNS staff who retired since September 1, 2016 or plan to retire before August 31, 2017.  If you are a 2016-2017 retiree, please join us at the Celebration Reception on June 15 at 3:30 p.m..
