This award annually recognizes one member of the administrative/professional staff for exemplary achievement in university, community, regional, and national service. This award is not limited specifically to honor high quality job performance; however, the selection committee must be satisfied that the person chosen for the award is recognized by peers as an achiever in his/her assigned responsibilities at the university. The nominee must have been a member of SIUC's administrative/professional staff during the three previous fiscal years. Persons who have retired or resigned during that period are also eligible for the award. The staff member who is selected will receive a $500 cash award, will have his/her name added to the permanent plaque displayed near the Student Center River Rooms, will be provided a reserved parking space, and will be recognized at the Chancellor's Award Ceremony.
