There is still time to nominate a group of Brock University employees who’ve shown what can be accomplished through the power of teamwork.

The deadline for nominations for the Brock University Outstanding Team Service Award is Wednesday, Jan. 12 at 4:30 p.m.

Created by the Office of the President and Vice-Chancellor, the new award will annually recognize a team of faculty and/or staff members for their outstanding contributions throughout the year beyond what is normally expected. Criteria for the award includes:

• The provision of exceptional service to staff, faculty, students, alumni, donors or visitors; or
• The identification of measures that contribute to the effectiveness of University operations; or
• A direct or indirect contribution that positively impacts the University community internally or externally. For example, a contribution that impacts student success or a contribution that impacts the reputation of Brock.

The call for nominations letter with details on award criteria and administration, as well as the required forms, can be found on the Human Resources/Compensation SharePoint page. Note that when clicking the document link for the nomination and endorsement forms, select ‘save as’ to download a copy.

Completed nominations forms, as well as any questions, can be emailed to Lindsay Redmond at lredmond@brocku.ca
