Eligibility/Criteria
All full and part-time staff members are eligible to
receive the YES Award. The recognition can be given
by other staff, faculty, students, or vendors who work with
the staff member. Currently, the YES recognition awards
are for individual staff members at any
position in the University.
Testimonial
I wanted to send a quick email to let you know that I received my recognition gift (a beautiful silver bracelet) and it was even more beautiful than what was on the website. The individual gift selection was a welcome change. Please let the committee know that their efforts are appreciated. Coming Soon! Two exciting new enhancements:
Student workers will be eligible to receive YES recognition awards, AND
the online recognition process will include the ability to
select groups of employees.
‐‐Submitted by a five‐year service award honoree performance substantially beyond expectation on a
specific assignment, task or goal
contributions that have a positive impact on customer
service
extraordinary efforts above and beyond the normal duties
of the position
