Make a Difference awards
The Make a Difference Award Program is a campuswide peer-to-peer program that recognizes University staff members for their outstanding accomplishments and daily investment of energy and creativity.
Up to 15 staff members may receive the award in each of two semiannual award periods every academic year. These fall and spring semiannual award winners constitute the pool from which four Annual Make a Difference Award recipients—the best of the best—are chosen. The annual award comes with a before-tax prize of $1,200.
All award winners are selected by a committee of their peers from the participating employee groups of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees as well as the Michigan State Employees Association, Police Officers Association, and Staff Compensation System, members of which are represented by the Administrative Professional Association and Professional Support Staff Organization.
