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 2018, we are also setting aside a full day to celebrate and recognize all College staff.
Staff Celebration
Our second Staff Celebration Day will be held on June 22, 2018. 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, 2017 or plan to retire before August 31, 2018. If you are a 2017-2018 retiree, please join us on Staff Celebration Day.
Staff Excellence Awards
This year the College of Natural Sciences has several awards to recognize excellent work performance by CNS staff whose efforts go above and beyond the day-to-day responsibilities of their job, including outstanding dedication, competence, resourcefulness and customer service. Five staff will be selected to receive a general College of Natural Sciences staff award. One additonal staff member will be selected to win a $6,500 award made available by a donor to the College of Natural Sciences.
Eligibility: All staff (including administrative & professional and classified) with at least two years of consecutive service in their current CNS position (as of January 1) who have not received a CNS staff award in the past 5 years.
Honoring Diversity & Inclusivity
The College of Natural Sciences values the academic and community benefits that result from diversity, equity, and inclusion across campus. Special recognition, by way of a CNS Diversity & Inclusivity Award, will honor outstanding accomplishments of faculty, staff, students, and academic or administrative units whose powerful actions support the development of a diverse and inclusive university community. Consideration of such accomplishments is integrated into the staff nomination forms and review criteria.
Nominatons should be submitted online via the CNS Staff Excellence Nomination Form.
The 2018 deadline for submissions for these awards will be May 1, 2018.
