Call for Nominations for Staff Awards

Dear Faculty and Staff,

UMBC is fortunate to have so many talented and dedicated Exempt and Non-Exempt staff working to support our mission. Over the past few years, our staff have worked tirelessly to ensure that our students, faculty, and staff had the tools they needed to be successful in a challenging time, were working or learning in a safe environment, and that the necessary groundwork was laid to return to our physical campus.

We ask that you reflect on the work within your units and across the campus and nominate a colleague. This process gives us the opportunity to recognize exemplary work at both the campus level and across the entire University System of Maryland. We are eager to honor our colleagues and need your help to do so.

We encourage administrators, faculty, and staff to nominate staff members 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 Exempt or Non-Exempt Staff

Descriptions of the individual awards and the eligibility requirements for each, as well as the nomination form, can be found at 2022-23 Staff Awards. Each nomination should include the nomination form, a single 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 31, 2022.

We hope the entire UMBC community will engage in this process. If you have questions about the staff awards, please contact Martina Buckley, Associate Provost for Financial Management and Chief of Staff, at mbuckley@umbc.edu.
