Nominate an Outstanding Staff Team Today
With almost 3,000 staff members on campus, every one of us is affected by the daily efforts of our incredible staff. Have you noticed a team that has gone above and beyond to make the U of A a better place? Now is your chance to help them be recognized. Any faculty or staff member may nominate any staff team for this award. Self-nominations are accepted, as well.
The Outstanding Staff Team award recognizes performance for the previous calendar year (2023). The outstanding team effort may be a result of a specific project, or it may be the performance of the normal duties of an organizational unit. Eligible teams will be composed of U of A staff employees who are 100% appointed at the Fayetteville campus and may be classified, non-classified or a combination of both who have worked together to promote the mission of the university. The outstanding staff team will receive a cash award.
Deadline for nominations is 5 p.m. Friday, March 29. Award information and a nomination form can be found on the Staff Senate website. Completed nominations should be sent to the Awards Committee chair via email at ssawards@uark.edu.
