We would like to extend an invitation to participate in our employee recognition awards called the Terrier STAR (Special Thanks and Recognition) Awards, which we hope will give our Thomas staff and faculty a chance to be recognized and honored for all of their hard work and dedication to the College.
At each start of the semester, you will be provided with the chance to nominate faculty or staff members for four months at a time, Sept. to Dec. and Jan. to April. You will have the ability to nominate your co-workers for one or more categories. Each winner will be announced at their respective month and will be recognized in various formats. All winners from the semester will be highlighted.
Here is where you all come in – we need you to nominate your fellow colleagues. There will be four awards each semester all describing specific characteristics of your coworkers. The categories are listed below. You can select one or more. Please be prepared to explain how the nominee emulates the characteristic(s) that you are nominating them for.
- Career Focus – Connecting students to our promise of graduating and preparing them for their future.
- Institutional Inventiveness – Finding innovative ways of solving problems, saving money, and/or creating efficiencies
- Personalized Experience – Meeting students and/or employees where they are by incorporating innovative teaching experiences and/or innovative personal employee development experiences
- Inspiring Environment – Providing ways to enhance the campus environment for an improved learning/working atmosphere
