These awards to non-teaching staff are presented each year during Staff Appreciation Day.
Elon presents three Staff Member of the Year awards annually during Staff Appreciation Day. These award are given to non-teaching staff in each of the following categories: Physical Plant, Office Staff, and Administrative Staff. Once the nominations are received, Human Resources will categorize the nominations into the appropriate job group.
Nominees must be classified as full-time (work at least 30 hours per week) and have been in their positions at least one full year. Any university faculty member, staff member, or student may make a nomination. Nominations can be made in any or all of the three categories represented.
You will assist the Selection Committee greatly by giving accurate and professional responses about your nominee’s qualifications for this award. Please be concise in your comments, including any experiences with the nominee that you feel are relevant. Keep in mind that you want to convince the selection committee that your nominee deserves to be recognized as one of the university’s Staff Member of the Year recipients. Nominations are kept confidential throughout the selection process.
