Staff Recognition Awards

The Division of Academic Affairs is proud to recognize four outstanding staff members with our annual Staff Recognition Awards. Academic staff serve our campus community with a dedication to excellence providing exceptional service to our students and their families, communities members, faculty, and other staff. The staff members who receive these awards have excelled in the performance of their duties and their attention to UA Little Rock’s goals of preparing students for success, strengthening and supporting the human resources and infrastructure necessary to fulfill the university’s mission and vision, encouraging and supporting research and creative endeavors, serving as an active partner in the community, and improving diversity, inclusion, equality, and global understanding in the campus community.

Each of the four awards comes with a certificate to display in the winner’s workspace:

• Innovation – For a staff member who has used creativity to develop or implemented new and/or improved processes, services, and methods.
• Customer Service – For a staff member who has made exceptional contributions to deliver superior service to members of our campus community and/or the community at large.
• Initiative – For a staff member who, of their own accord, has taken on exceptional responsibilities beyond their primary job duties.
• Team Work- For a staff member who fosters a high degree of collegiality in their daily work with our students, faculty, other staff, and community members.

The winners of these awards will be announced on the first Friday in April. The winners in each category will receive $500 dollars.

Nominations will be accepted between January 27th, 2023 and March 15th, 2023.
