UUSA Employee Recognition Awards
Each year, UUSA recognizes members of our staff who exemplify the values and standards of University Unions & Student Activities, while going above and beyond the duties outlined in their job descriptions. Six awards are given by UUSA. They are:
- four Core Values Awards to correspond with UUSA’s four core values of Student Learning, Community, Service, and Commitment to Excellence
- the UUSA Mission Possible Award for the employee who demonstrates the characteristics exemplified in the UUSA Mission Statement
- the Douglas S. Yates Award for the employee who exemplifies selfless dedication to their colleagues and the overall betterment of UUSA
The awards consist of framed certificates and $100, to be presented at the UUSA Staff Retreat, Tuesday, August 5 at Water’s Edge, Claytor Lake. Recipients’ names are also added to permanently displayed plaques in Squires Student Center.
Nominations are due Friday, May 2 and should be submitted in hard copy to the nomination box in 225 Squires. Please fill out one nomination form for each nomination.
