The Spirit of UC Award
The Spirit of UC Award is an opportunity for you to honor some of the great work you witness every day among your colleagues.
All University College employees, including graduate student employees (Graduate Assistants and Graduate Hourly) are eligible to nominate their colleagues, as well as win the award (except for the UC Deans). Each February a GA is nominated and awarded in addition to a staff member.
Highlights of The Spirit of UC Award:
Winners will become the official keeper of The Spirit of UC Award trophy and receive a framed certificate. The Dean will announce the winner and present the award at the college wide meetings.
The winner will have their picture taken during the ceremony and receive a token of recognition from the Dean.
The Award process will occur quarterly. The Spirit of UC Award winners will not be eligible to win the award again for one calendar year. Priority will be given to those who have never won the award. Neither anonymous nor self-nominations are allowed.
