Each year since 1986, the University of Wisconsin-River Falls has presented an award to an outstanding staff member. In 1989, the award became known as the Chancellor's Award for Excellence, and all academic staff whose primary responsibilities are non-instructional became eligible. We are now seeking nominations for the 2008 recipient of the Chancellor's Award for Excellence, which will be presented in the fall of 2008.
We invite nominations from all faculty and academic staff for outstanding performances during the 2007-2008 academic year. Classified staff may submit letters of support for nominees. To make a nomination, review the list of academic staff that are eligible to receive the award and identify the one person who you think best meets these criteria:
1. Success in fulfilling the overall responsibilities
of the job;
2. Participation in university service projects
outside of the job; and
3. Human relations (interpersonal skills, attitude,
support, etc.).
The nomination should include the 1) nominee
name, position and campus address; and 2) a detailed
narrative describing how the nominee meets the
criteria.
You may use the Chancellor's Award for Excellence - Academic Staff Nomination Form to nominate your candidates.
Thank you for your assistance.
