Staff Recognition

Penn Engineering Staff Recognition Award

This award recognizes a non-faculty employee whose presence contributes in an extraordinary way to the aspirations of the School of Engineering and Applied Science and inspires excellent performance from others. Penn Engineering HR initiates a school-wide call for nominations every year. All faculty and staff are eligible to submit nominations. Qualities to consider are in relation to any or all of the following:

Performance in assigned responsibilities and beyond
Consistent performance over time which earns the clear respect of co-workers
Support for School goals
Devoted service to students and faculty
Unusual performance which affects leadership and influences beyond the norm

Nominations are reviewed by the Staff Recognition Award Selection Committee. Committee members include awardees from the previous two years, a faculty leader, the SEAS Faculty Council Chair, and the Vice Dean for Finance and Administration.
