The university’s employee awards program was created in 2018 to acknowledge and celebrate the efforts of the university’s faculty and staff in a variety of areas including teaching, research, and service to others.
The COVID-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of the April 15 awards ceremony; however, the university created a memorable video recognizing employees for their extraordinary contributions to the University.
