Congratulations to our 2023 University of Utah Staff Excellence Award Winners

University of Utah Human Resource Management is pleased to announce the eight recipients of the 2023 University of Utah Staff Excellence Awards (USEA). USEA was established in 1992 to recognize superior service and ongoing contributions by the University’s full-time employees.
