Outstanding P&A Achievement Award

Purpose
To recognize academic/professional personnel and administrative personnel for outstanding achievement in furthering the mission and goals of their unit(s) and/or CEHD.

Award
Recipient will receive a $1,500 award and a certificate presented at the CEHD Spring Assembly and Recognition event in April. Up to two awards may be presented each year to recognize eligible nominees, in different P&A roles.

A P&A staff person who performs mainly academic work and a P&A staff person who performs mainly administrative work may both be presented an award in the same year if the work group deems that each individual’s work is sufficiently distinctive from the other individual’s. The Honors and Awards Work Group reserves the right to determine, in consultation with the dean, if one or two awards will be presented each year.

Nominees must continue as employees in good standing in order to receive the award at the date of the spring assembly in April.
