Achieving Excellence Award


The Achieving Excellence Award recognizes a non-exempt employee in Housing and Food Services for exemplary performance, commitment, and productivity.

Eligibility

A full-time, non-exempt staff employee who has worked in or supported Housing and Food Services for at least one year is eligible for this award. This is an individual award and is not designed for a team.

Selection Process

A director serving as chair, plus a five-member awards committee—consisting of the previous year’s recipient and representatives from four different areas—will select a finalist who demonstrates all or some of the following characteristics:
  • job performance
  • professionalism
  • sensitivity to diverse populations
  • ability to cooperate with others and work on a team
  • enthusiasm
  • interest in professional development
  • productivity

Award

The recipient will be presented with a personalized Nittany Lion statue and a monetary award—and will have his or her name displayed on a plaque in the lobby of the Housing and Food Services Building. Award recipients will not be eligible to be considered for nomination two years in a row.

Nominate Someone

Any employee who works in or supports Housing and Food Services can nominate one person for this award each year. The deadline for nominations is Monday, September 29, 2008.
