Employee Eligibility
An employee’s hire date and the date nominations are due will be used to determine whether a nominee meets the length of employment criterion. A nominee for the New Employee award is eligible if this period is less than three years, and a nominee for the Professional Achievement, Customer Service, or Leadership awards is eligible if this period is more than three years. Staff members who provide at least 75% of their effort in service to the College of Engineering are eligible for the CoE Staff Awards of Excellence.
DSAC members are not eligible to receive a CoE Staff Awards of Excellence award while they serve on the DSAC committee.
Conflicts of Interest
If a DSAC member is part of a nomination for a CoE Staff Awards of Excellence, the committee member will recuse him or her self for that specific category of awards.
Renominations
Nominations may be carried over for one year following the initial submission. For this purpose, nominators and/or supervisors will be contacted and will be provided the option of putting the nominee forward a second time, as well as an opportunity to update the materials.
