SUBJECT:

Extension of the Nomination Period for the UCSD 2003/04 Exemplary Staff Employee of the Year Award Program

A Notice was issued in January to announce the nomination period for the UCSD 2003/04 Exemplary Staff Employee of the Year Award Program. This follow-up Notice is to advise the campus community that the nomination period for the Program is being extended through 4:30 p.m. on Monday, April 12, 2004. The extension is intended to provide additional time for the submittal of nominations for eligible career employees in Professional and Support Staff (PPS) positions whose performance may be described as "exemplary."

Completed nomination forms must be delivered to the Human Resources Department, Torrey Pines Center-South, Suite 265-A on or before 4:30 p.m. on Monday, April 12, 2004. Nomination forms may be mailed to the Human Resources Department at mail code 0922; however, nomination forms must be received on or before the deadline. Electronic nominations will be considered, provided that all required forms and personal electronic endorsements from the Principal Nominator, and those of the First and Second Endorsers, are received in the Human Resources Department at nominate@ucsd.edu by Monday, May 12, 2004.

Ten employees will be recognized as follows: one award of $2,500 for the Principal Exemplary Staff Employee of the Year and nine awards of $1,500 for "Exemplary Staff Employees of the Year." The names of the ten award recipients will be inscribed on the perpetual plaque, which is displayed prominently in the Human Resources Department reception area at Torrey Pines Center-South, Suite 265-A. In May, the Acting Chancellor will present awards and gifts to each recipient during the annual Exemplary Staff Employee of the Year Award Ceremony to be held at the Faculty Club.
