She never seems to get upset and is always willing to help. When I have forgotten to make a copy of a check request she is more than willing to look the information up and help getting payments tracked down, even if it means extra work. She has made my job much easier, and I know I can always rely on her help. She is always concerned about every as a person as well as a fellow employee and will ask how you are doing or tell you that she is keeping you in prayer. She is an inspiration!” Click here to view 2009-10 recipients >> Click here to view 2008-09 recipients >> Click here to view 2007-08 recipients >> Click here to view 2006-07 recipients >> Click here to view 2005-06 recipients >> Click here to view 2004-05 recipients >>  Click here to view 2003-04 recipients >>

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.
