In 1993, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences established the LAS Staff
Awards to identify and honor selected staff members for their outstanding contributions
to the college. The program is sponsored by alumni and friends of the college.
Up to three awards may be made annually. The LAS Awards Committee, assisted
by two previous winners of this award, will review and rank the nominations
received. Final recipient recommendations will be approved by the dean of the
college.
Nominations will be evaluated in terms of achievement according to the
following established criteria:
- Demonstrates excellence in overall work performance.
- Promotes positive morale through a congenial, supportive attitude and
by providing service to others.
- Puts forth an effort to improve self as well as to develop and recognize
others.
- Exhibits initiative and creativity resulting in improved operating efficiency
of a work unit or the college as a whole.
- Enhances the image of the department and/or college.
Distinctive achievement in all areas will constitute the strongest case
for selection. The selection committee will be cognizant, however, of particularly
outstanding achievement in any one area.
Recipients will receive a $2000 award and a commemorative plaque. Both
will be presented at an LAS Awards Reception in late February.
A nominee must be a full-time staff employed
within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences for at least three years by the nomination deadline. Retirees may be eligible if employed in a status appointment during the current calendar year. A person who receives any of the following LAS Awards will not be eligible for nomination for a second College award during the next 10-year period: Staff Award, Nancy McCowen Distinguished Staff Service Award, Academic Professional Award. Nominations of employees in all staff classifications are encouraged (i.e., storekeeper, clerical, maintenance worker).
Nominations for these awards may be made by any member of the campus community
(staff, faculty, or student), but must be endorsed by the executive officer
of the nominee's unit. All nominations must be submitted on the official LAS
nomination form. A copy of the official campus Chancellor's Distinguished
Staff Award Program nomination form is also allowed if used with the LAS nomination
form.
Those making a nomination for the LAS Staff Awards should submit all of
the following:
- LAS Staff Awards nomination form
- Nominee's job description (please limit to one page)
- Narrative of approximately three-pages describing how the nominee fulfills
the stated criteria listed on the reverse side (indicate specific activities
or programs in which your candidate has excelled)

All re-nominations require submission
of an updated narrative as well as a new nominating form.
