Each year the Dean will recognize outstanding staff in the College of Arts and Sciences. All categories of full-time, non-faculty employees are eligible.  Nominations may be submitted by any faculty, staff, or student of the College.  Multiple awards may be given each year. Recipients will be recommended by a special review committee appointed by the Dean.  The awards will be presented during the annual Staff Appreciation Reception.
