SUBJECT:

The UCSD 1995-96 Staff Employee of the Year Award Program

I am pleased to announce the nomination period for this year's Staff
Employee of the Year Award Program. The purpose of this program is to
recognize and celebrate the outstanding achievements and meritorious
service of our staff employees. Ten awards will be given: one award
of $1,500 for the "Outstanding Staff Employee" and nine awards of $750
for "Exemplary Service." All ten awardees will have their names
inscribed on the perpetual plaque which is prominently displayed in
the Human Resources Department at Torrey Pines Center.

Any UCSD employee who has passed the probationary period may submit
nominations. A panel of nine, appointed by the Interim Chancellor,
Vice Chancellors, and Director, will review all nominations and
recommend awardees to the Interim Chancellor. Awards will be made by
Interim Chancellor Caserio at a special ceremony to be held in the
spring.

This program allows employees to be acknowledged for special
recognition for their outstanding service and contributions. Its
success depends on your willingness to take the necessary time to
initiate and/or endorse the nomination of a staff employee whom you
believe to be truly deserving of an award. A nomination form is
attached for your convenience.

Nominations will be received at the Campus Human Resources Department
at Torrey Pines Center South and the Medical Center Human Resources
Department. For full consideration, nominations must be received by
February 29, 1996. Electronic nominations will be considered provided
all nominating material and personal electronic endorsements from the
nominators are received by the deadline. Please send your electronic
nominations to Janice Cydell at jcydell@ucsd.edu.

Please follow the guidelines below in preparing your nomination:

1. Nominees must have completed the six month probationary period.

2. Nominees must be a member of the UCSD A&PS or Staff Programs.

3. Each nomination must include a Principal Nominator and two
endorsements. Individuals may serve as a Principal Nominator for only
one nomination; however, a Principal Nominator may endorse other
nominations. All multiple nominations submitted by a single Principal
Nominator will be invalidated.

4. Only one employee per nomination form may be submitted.

5. In order to give all nominees adequate opportunity, length of
narrative statement should not exceed 300 words. Supplemental
materials will not be considered.

6. Satisfactory performance of all assigned job duties is insufficient
criteria to be considered for an award. Nominees should demonstrate
exemplary performance of work-related responsibilities at UCSD. For
example, if the employee is representing the University in community
service activities, these efforts would qualify as work-related.
Nominations without supporting statements will not be considered.

7. The names of nominators will not be revealed and nominating
materials will not be returned.

Please submit nominations by February 29, 1996. Award recipients will
be announced in mid-March.

Rogers Davis Assistant Vice Chancellor - Human Resources
