The individual committees then review the nominations and recommend recipient(s).
All award recipients will have their names added to the Award of Excellence plaque displayed on campus. In addition, they will each be presented with an individual plaque in the spring. Full-time recipients will receive an award stipend of $1,000 (less appropriate taxes) while part-time staff recipients and adjunct faculty recipients will receive a $250 award (less appropriate taxes).
