Exemplary Staff Employee Awards Nomination Period Extended

The nomination period for the Exemplary Staff Employee of the Year Award Program has been extended through 4:30 p.m. on Friday, April 8, 2005. The extension provides additional time to submit nominations for eligible career employees in Professional and Support Staff positions. Exemplary employees are distinguished by their outstanding service and contributions to the UCSD and San Diego communities.

All members of the campus community are encouraged to nominate and/or endorse the nominations of their colleagues who are deserving of this special acknowledgment. Nomination forms, program guidelines, and submission instructions are available online at http://blink.ucsd.edu/go/eoy.

Ten award recipients will be recognized as follows:

* one award of $2,500 for the Principal Exemplary Staff Employee of the Year

* nine awards of $1,500 for Exemplary Staff Employees of the Year.

On May 23, 2005, Chancellor Fox will present awards and gifts to each recipient during the annual Exemplary Staff Employee of the Year Award ceremony. The awardees' names will also be inscribed on the perpetual plaque, which is displayed in the Human Resources Department reception area.

After reviewing the materials, if you have any questions about the 2004-2005 Exemplary Staff Employee of the Year Award Program, please contact or call (858) 534-9659.
