Nominations for Dean’s staff awards due June 17

Members of the Medical School community are encouraged to nominate outstanding administrators, and professional and support staff, for recognition through the Dean’s Awards Program for Staff.

The deadline for nominations for the following awards — which carry a $1,500 top prize in each category — is June 17, 2016:

• The Administrator of the Year award is conferred upon a staff member who demonstrates superb leadership in the management of other staff, as well as exceptional operational excellence and stewardship of Medical School resources. This award is open to all staff members in the managerial job role.

• The Professional Staff of the Year award is conferred upon a staff member who demonstrates excellence in his/her work, contributes to a positive working environment, and is a strong team contributor (where appropriate). This award is open to all staff members in the professional job role who receive a monthly paycheck.

• The Support Staff of the Year award is conferred upon a staff member who demonstrates excellence in his/her work, contributes to a positive working environment, and is mindful of his/her service to the Medical School. This award is open to staff members classified in the professional job role who receive a bi-weekly paycheck.

In addition to selecting winners in each category, the Dean’s Office will make up to three honorable mention awards of $500 in each category.

Winners will be announced in the fall, and they will receive their awards at the annual Faculty and Staff Awards Dinner.
