The NDSU Staff Senate, in partnership with the Office of Human Resources/Payroll, invites students, faculty and staff to submit nominations for the 2013 Staff Recognition Awards. 

The awards acknowledge outstanding achievement on the job, exceptional contributions toward the effectiveness and efficiency of operations, or outstanding service to other employees, students or visitors. They also honor distinguished efforts in staff development. 

Nominations of broadbanded staff members in two categories, Individual Awards and a Team/Committee Award, are being accepted until 4 p.m. on Friday, March 22. 

Up to 10 Individual Awards will be given based on broadbanded percentages at NDSU. A single Team/Committee Award also will be given to a team of two to 10 members. 

Individual Award winners will receive $250 cash awards. The Team/Committee Award winner will receive a $600 cash award (maximum of $250 per individual team member). Winners will be announced and recognized at the Staff Recognition Luncheon on April 12. 

Nominations also will be considered for Governor’s Awards. Last year, Diance Axness, College of Business, and Janine Trowbridge, TRIO Programs, were selected for the award and were recognized by the governor at the capitol building in Bismarck, N.D. 

Forms can be completed and submitted online. To obtain a paper nomination form, contact Janine Trowbridge, staff senator of the Employee Recognition Committee, at janine.trowbridge@ndsu.edu or 701-231-7315. 

NDSU is recognized as one of the nation's top 108 public and private universities by the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education.
