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.
