NDSU Staff Recognition Awards

Individual Staff Recognition Awards are presented annually to the broad banded staff at North Dakota State University. Up to ten awards may be distributed according to the percentages in each of the five NDSU categories: Administrative/Professional, Technical/Paraprofessional, Office Support, Crafts/Trades, and Services. Each recipient will receive a cash award of $250.

Award recipients will be announced at the Staff Recognition Social on April 18 from 1– 2:30pm in the Oceti Sakowin Ballroom.

The Team Recognition Award recognizes a group of individuals who have contributed to the accomplishment of a major change or benefit to the University community.  A team may be made up of any combination of broadband and non-broad band staff with a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 10 members. The team needs to have a connection to NDSU and only broad banded team members employed at NDSU will receive the award.   Teams can be a part of a larger scope, such as NDUS.  The accomplishment needs to be NDSU related.  The team will receive a cash award of $600 to be divided equally between members (maximum of $250 per individual). While we appreciate that some teams consist of over 10 staff members, we ask that nominations stick to this limit of 10 staff members. Nominations above 10 team members diminish the monetary reward and decrease equity in reviewing the scope of the team achievements.

The nomination period for 2024 Staff Recognition Awards closed on March 22nd, 2024.
