Nominate colleagues for fall 2016 staff award
Make a Difference is a campuswide peer-to-peer program that recognizes staff members for their accomplishments and daily investment of energy and creativity. It features semiannual and annual awards presented to non-faculty employees who provide exceptional service to the University.
Every fall and spring, semiannual awards are presented to a maximum of 15 people. Those selected for the accolade receive a before-tax prize of $300 and a certificate, are recognized at a special reception, and may be nominated for one of four annual Make a Difference awards that carry a before-tax prize of $1,200.
The annual award goes to each year's most outstanding semiannual award recipients—the best of the best. Employees may win a semiannual award, and therefore an annual award, no more than once every five academic years.
