Outstanding Staff Award Nominations Sought

The Provost Com­mit­tee for Staff seeks nom­i­na­tions for the PCS Out­stand­ing Staff award. Three indi­vid­u­als and a work­group are selected for this award of excellence.

Fac­ulty, staff and stu­dents in the Provost’s units may nom­i­nate any per­ma­nent, non-faculty staff mem­ber. A work­group can be com­prised of an office, depart­ment, divi­sion or sec­tion. Self-nominations are not be accepted. Pre­vi­ously nom­i­nated staff or work­groups may be nom­i­nated again, pro­vided the nominee(s) is/are not a past recip­i­ent of the award. Cur­rent Provost’s Com­mit­tee for Staff mem­bers are not eli­gi­ble for the award.

“This is an impor­tant way to rec­og­nize staff mem­bers who demon­strate extra­or­di­nary ser­vice to the uni­ver­sity com­mu­nity. Staff, fac­ulty or stu­dents may nom­i­nate any staff mem­ber who is a mem­ber of a depart­ment that reports to the Provost,” said Chaouki Abdal­lah, interim provost.

Selec­tion cri­te­ria
A nom­i­nee or work­group should demon­strate extra­or­di­nary achieve­ment in one or more of the fol­low­ing areas:

• Pro­vide extra­or­di­nary ser­vice to UNM or the com­mu­nity
• Exem­plify Uni­ver­sity val­ues (Excel­lence; Access with Sup­port to Suc­ceed, Integrity; Diver­sity; Respect­ful Rela­tion­ships; Free­dom, and Sus­tain­abil­ity) in an excep­tional man­ner
• Con­tribute sub­stan­tially to sig­nif­i­cant team or depart­ment accomplishments

A cer­tifi­cate and a mon­e­tary award will be pre­sented to the indi­vid­ual staff selected. Cer­tifi­cates will be pre­sented to the work­group selected. A per­ma­nent plaque, list­ing the win­ners, will be on dis­play in Scholes Hall. In addi­tion, donated UNM & com­mu­nity gift items will be pre­sented to the winners.

The awards will be pre­sented by the Provost’s Com­mit­tee for Staff and the Provost/Vice Pres­i­dent for Aca­d­e­mic Affairs dur­ing the annual Out­stand­ing Staff and Work­group Award pre­sen­ta­tion cer­e­mony held later in the spring semester.

The Provost’s Com­mit­tee for Staff was founded in 1989 and is com­prised of staff mem­bers in areas of the uni­ver­sity that report to the Provost. This com­mit­tee was cre­ated to assist the Provost in pro­vid­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties for staff devel­op­ment, recog­ni­tion and ser­vice. Mem­bers of this com­mit­tee rep­re­sent staff on issues that affect staff, dis­sem­i­nat­ing infor­ma­tion, and car­ry­ing out activ­i­ties regard­ing staff devel­op­ment and recog­ni­tion. Com­mit­tee meet­ings are once per month.

Dead­line to sub­mit a nom­i­na­tion is Fri­day, March 2 at 5 p.m. Click here for a nom­i­na­tion form.
