Recipients of the Huntington University PEER AWARD for the month of May are Dr. Michael Rowley and Mr. Andy Vaught.

Steve Alexander passed the PEER AWARD to Mike Rowley. Mike is Associate Professor of Communication and has been with HU 14 years. In recognizing Mike, Steve writes, “Thank you Mike for your inspirational message on the Holy Spirit in chapel. It was a good reminder not to ignore those inklings we get as Christians, but to act upon them. Also I want to thank Mike for his giving attitude. Mike runs Mike's tree service and one day he asked me if I would like some fire-wood. He said I could use his trailer and cart to haul the wood to my house. The wood was already cut up and ready to go. This was a great gift and shows the heart of Mike Rowley.”

Chad Ralston passed the PEER AWARD to Andy Vaught. Andy serves Huntington University as Admissions Counselor and has been with HU for 2 years. In recognizing Andy, Chad writes, “Andy is a nice guy with a great attitude. He always seems happy to be at work, which is a good personality to have especially for his job.”

About our Peer Award Program

Focus

The focus of the PEER AWARD is to promote acknowledgement and recognition of the outstanding efforts of faculty and staff members. Award winners will be chosen and recognized each month by fellow peers. A traveling award will be presented each month. Each recipient will also receive a special, personalized award to keep. Two awards will be presented each month. The award winners from the previous month will choose a winner to recognize at the beginning of the next month.

Criteria

The award winner should be a faculty or staff member who has had an impact on you personally or professionally during the month. Items to consider include; motivation, inspiration, spiritual leadership, extraordinary effort in helping with job duties, etc. The award began in December of 2003 with the previous academic year's Professor of the Year and Staff Member of the Year. However, the awards should not necessarily stay divided between faculty and staff. The PEER AWARD is intended to mingle between the lines and cross all departments.

Eligibility

Full-time and part-time employees are eligible for PEER AWARD consideration. The senior leadership team is not eligible for the award.

Limits

The award may not be passed to a member within the same department as the current winner (ex. Polly Tribolet cannot pass the award to Becky Lyons). The award may not be passed to a member of the same family.

Recognition Avenues

A variety of avenues may be used to promote and notify the campus of the award winners, including: campus email, Campus Bulletin, Coffey Break, FUSE plug, Huntingtonian, Celebration of Service appreciation dinner, and/or recognition on this website. Keep a look out at the beginning of each month for the PEER AWARD winners.
