Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce that nominations are now being accepted for the 2018 District Staff Excellence Awards. I invite you to take a few moments to nominate a peer who deserves to be recognized.

The Staff Excellence Award program highlights staff who exemplify the university’s four major strategic goals:

  • Promote student success to transform lives
  • Develop and transfer new knowledge
  • Engage communities to improve health and quality of life
  • Ensure long-term viability of the university

The program was established to recognize superior service and ongoing contributions by the University of Utah’s full-time staff employees, 0.75 FTE and above. Twenty-four cash awards will be given and eight winners will be chosen from that pool to receive a $3,750 honorarium and a personalized plaque presented by myself and President Ruth V. Watkins.

The University of Utah is a world-class research and teaching institution built on a legacy of innovation, collaboration, community engagement and service. The U fosters student success by preparing students from diverse backgrounds for lives of impact as leaders and citizens and our staff are imperative to accomplishing these goals.

Jeff C. Herring, J.D., MBA, SPHR
