Nomination Guidelines and Procedures

Nominations must be submitted electronically (see login information below) and are accepted throughout the calendar year.

Nominations may be made by any employee; however, self-nominations are not acceptable.

It is the nominator’s responsibility to fill in the online nomination and to upload all of the required items. These items can be uploaded as one document or as multiple documents.

  • How the employee’s work may have impacted the functioning or infrastructure of the university.
