Acknowledge Fellow Employees for Outstanding Work

Nominations are now being accepted for the 2011 Staff Awards to recognize colleagues who go above and beyond their duties and contributions to fulfilling the Duquesne mission.

Exceptional staff members may be nominated individually or as a team for awards in innovation, team work, consumer service and distinguished service. Nominations will be reviewed by a committee composed of staff members from each division. Only one nomination per employee is permitted.

Recipients of the President’s Distinguished Service Staff Award must consistently demonstrate excellence in the work place, dedication to the mission statement and help to enhance the reputation of Duquesne.

The Innovation Award acknowledges an employee who has developed a solution to an existing problem effectively and productively or improved the University’s overall organizational effectiveness through a new method or approach.

The Teamwork Award is presented to a supportive and motivational team for completing a major project in an outstanding manner and has engaged others in working towards a common goal.

The Consumer Service Award is given to a candidate who provides service, either internally or externally, with timely and appropriate follow-up and who is responsive to the needs of the students, other staff members or patrons.

The deadline for nominations is Thursday, Dec. 1.
