UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Nominations are being accepted through Feb. 25 for the University Staff Advisory Council's (USAC) three Staff Recognition Awards.
The annual awards recognize staff across the institution who exemplify Penn State Values of integrity, respect, responsibility, discovery, excellence and community.
Full-time staff members from all campuses and work units are eligible. Anyone at the University may submit a nomination, including faculty, staff, administrators and students. Each nomination is considered on its own merit and will be given equal consideration regardless of type or level of staff position held within the University.
The three awards are:
- Staff Excellence Award, which recognizes a staff member who demonstrates integrity, respect and excellence in all aspects of their position.
- Staff Morale Award, which recognizes a staff member who demonstrates enthusiasm and optimism to create a positive, inclusive and supportive work environment for all.
- Staff Leadership Award, which recognizes a staff member who demonstrates excellence in leadership and serves as a positive role model for others.
Criteria and nomination forms for each of the three awards are available on the USAC website. Nominations will be accepted through Feb. 25.
The nomination packet for each of the three awards should contain the completed nomination form, including the nominator’s statement of why the nominee deserves the award, and up to three letters of support. Questions may be directed to askusac@psu.edu using “Staff Awards” as the subject line.
The annual awards will be presented at an afternoon gathering hosted by Penn State President Neeli Bendapudi on Friday, May 15 at the University Park campus.
