In 1998 the College of Liberal Arts initiated the Outstanding Staff Award.

There are two award categories: Outstanding Achievement and Continuing Excellence. The Outstanding Achievement award recognizes staff members who have demonstrated an exceptional level of achievement in the past 12 months. The Continuing Excellence award goes to a staff member who continually demonstrates the highest level of commitment and maintains a consistent record of outstanding performance. Please see the Nomination/Application Forms for each category to determine all eligibility requirements that must be met.

Nomination/application forms are available in both PDF and Word:

Continuing Excellence (word)              Continuing Excellence (pdf)

Outstanding Achievement (word)         Outstanding Achievement (pdf)

Nomination deadline: April 25, 2008.

Submit completed form to the Dean's Office in a confidential envelope.

Awardees are recognized at the annual CLA reception in June at the Dallidet Adobe, San Luis Obispo. Should you have questions or concerns, please contact the Outstanding Staff Award Committee in care of the Dean's Office. (756-2706)
