The function of the Employee Recognition Committee is to coordinate the Staff Recognition Ceremony held each spring. At this ceremony, individual staff members are recognized for their dedicated years of service to the University as well as additional employee awards. The committee historically has met in person monthly but may move to virtual meetings for the upcoming year. Members are required to volunteer additional time leading up to the ceremony for preparations and/or on the day of the event.
