President’s Employee Excellence Award
The Washington State University President’s Employee Excellence Awards Program recognizes outstanding contributions to the University by administrative professional and classified employees from across the state.
5 awards are given annually. Each recipient is awarded a plaque provided by the WSU Foundation.
Awardees are selected based on a review of nominations and the recommendations of the president’s Employee Excellence Awards Committee. Nominations focus on the outstanding contributions made by the employee regarding productivity of the unit; innovative problem solving; positive working relations with students, the public, and co-workers; and community service.
The winners will receive the Employee Excellence Award at the annual Showcase Celebration honoring the outstanding achievements of faculty and staff across campus.
