The awards program, which began in 1985, is open to all regular general staff and presidentially-approved principals who have worked at the University for at least one year. Because Emory Hospital employees have an internal recognition program, they are not eligible. Nominations can be made by any faculty or staff member; employees may not nominate themselves.
Nominations should reflect consistent excellence in job performance, service and contributions to the work environment beyond the call of duty, and exemplary personal qualities that have enhanced public regard for the overall effectiveness of a department. Nominations must be submitted to the head of the department, school or division in which the candidate works. The department head then recommends a candidate by submitting a 500-word, typed recommendation to the selection committee. The recommendation should give specific examples of the nominee's exceptional performance or contributions and be signed by the department head. Nominations must be submitted by Tuesday, Feb. 7, to Kimberly Sessions-Price, Chair, Selection Committee, P.O. Box 23705.
The number of nominees accepted is based on the number of regular eligible employees in their respective department, school or division. For more information, contact Pat Douglass at 727-7625.
