Brock’s dedicated employees play a critical role in supporting student success while making the University one of Canada’s top employers and an integral part of the Niagara community.

In recognition of exceptional employee contributions to the learning and working environment at Brock, the Office of People and Culture accepts nominations each year for three staff service awards.

The deadline for the 2024 Distinguished Staff Service Awards is 4:30 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 28. Nominations can be submitted to recognition@brocku.ca

Brock’s Distinguished Staff Service Awards include:
