My thanks to everyone who sent in nominations. We will keep all the recommendations as part of the continuing pool of nominees until June 2009, and all nominees are eligible for the award until then. I encourage those of you who are considering nominating an excellent employee to do so. You can help make a deserving staff member feel great about the wonderful job they do for the University. Names of the recipients will be announced in April as the “Employee of the Month.”
