BULLETINS:


Models of Excellence

Human Resources would like to thank the many faculty and staff across the University who provided outstanding nominations and references for the Selection Committee to consider.

Announcement of the Models of Excellence award winners will be made in April rather than in February as originally announced. Our time frame was revised to accommodate requests from the campus community.

We appreciate your patience with this process during our first year of implementation.
