NDSU Staff Senate and the Office of Human Resources have announced the recipients of the annual Staff Recognition Awards.
The honors recognize outstanding achievement on the job; exceptional contributions toward effective and efficient operations; outstanding service to other employees, students or visitors; and distinguished efforts in staff development or recognition.
“Each year, Staff Senate’s staff recognition committee reviews dozens of nominations that tell stories of staff taking on extra responsibilities, building strong relationships and serving the university in a number of ways,” said Staff Senate president Elizabeth Cronin, Agriculture Communication administrative assistant and conference coordinator. “It is inspiring to see the impact staff have at NDSU, and this year’s nominations were especially strong. Thank you to everyone who shared the story of a staff member who makes a difference here – and congratulations to all our nominees.”
