The annual University Operations Staff Achievement Awards Program was introduced in 2015 to recognize exceptional staff contributions to the success of the unit, the portfolio and the University. The program provides us with another opportunity to thank staff for the valuable work performed throughout the year.

Any University Operations employee in good standing is eligible to receive these awards. Temporary employees, students, and faculty are not eligible for consideration.
