Reminder: Call for Nominations for Staff Awards; October 30

Dear Colleagues,

We still need your help to recognize and honor the exemplary work of our talented and dedicated Exempt and Non-Exempt staff working to support our mission. Our staff have worked tirelessly to ensure that our students, faculty, and staff had the tools they needed to be successful in a mostly remote environment, to be safe if they were working or learning on campus, and to lay the groundwork for the broader return to our physical campus.

We encourage administrators, faculty, and staff who are familiar with the outstanding contributions of our staff to nominate them for one of these prestigious awards:

• UMBC Presidential Distinguished Staff Awards
• University System of Maryland Board of Regents Staff Awards
• Jakubik Family Endowment Staff Award
• Karen L. Wensch Endowment Award for Outstanding Non-Exempt Staff
• Teresa Lupinek Endowment Award for Outstanding Exempt or Non-Exempt Staff

Descriptions of the individual awards, the eligibility requirements for each, and the nomination form can be found at 2021-22 Staff Awards. Each nomination should include the nomination form, a letter of recommendation, and the nominee’s resume or job history form. Please send nominations to Colleen Rebeiro in the Office of the Provost at colleenr@umbc.edu by October 30, 2021. 

We hope the entire UMBC community will engage in this process. If you have questions about the staff awards, please contact Sarah Shin, Associate Provost for Academic Affairs, at shin@umbc.edu.

Freeman Hrabowski, President

Philip Rous, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs
