The program was developed last year by the Professional and Support Staff Advisory Council to recognize university staff members for outstanding and meritorious performance.
The awards, consisting of a plaque and $1,000, will be made in six categories. They will be presented by President Donald Zacharias in conjunction with the Service Award Program in April.
Categories include non-faculty executive, administrative and managerial; other professional (service/support); clerical and secretarial; technical/paraprofessional; skilled crafts; and service/maintenance.
The Employee Relations Committee will establish a Staff Awards Committee to select the honorees.
Nomination forms were to have been sent Feb. 1 by campus mail to all faculty and staff members. They should be returned by Feb. 9 to the Staff Awards Selection Committee, P.O. Box 5214.
Nominees must have been continuously employed at Mississippi State, half-time or greater, for at least three years. Letters of support will be solicited at a later date.
Nominees' performance of assigned tasks must merit recognition, inspire other employees, exhibit outstanding service or loyalty to the university and the accomplishment of its mission, or demonstrate courage or heroism in the workplace.
Those nominated will be notified, but award winners will remain anonymous until the presentation ceremony.
Nominations may be made by any staff or faculty member, or student.
