Each year, the College of Fine Arts recognizes the superior performance of its staff members within the college. Staff members must show exceptional ability in terms of Service Excellence and Commitment to the College of Fine Arts.
This year, one staff member will be awarded with a prize of $1000 and will be recognized at the CFA Convocation in Spring 2021 and at the CFA Faculty & Staff Reception in Fall 2021. Nominations may be made by current students, alumni, staff or faculty members. Nominees must have at least 3 years of continuous service in the College and be .75 FTE or higher.
Nomination Instructions for 2021:
