Presidential Supportive Professional Staff Award for Excellence
Call for Nominations

The Supportive Professional Staff Council is requesting nominations for the Presidential Supportive Professional Staff Award for Excellence. This award recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the university. All Supportive Professional Staff are eligible. If you have previously nominated an individual, please consider re-nominating them. Four awards will be presented, and each award will be for the amount of $1500. In addition, each recipient will receive a plaque in recognition of their accomplishments. To be eligible to receive this award, an employee must be actively employed at the time the award is presented in March or April 2010. An individual can only receive this award once.

The nominator is asked to address the following topics in a letter addressed to the SPSC Awards Committee:

  1. Significant contributions made by this individual to the university, beyond the expectations for this position.  (Consider outstanding service, significance of contribution to NIU, support for the university’s mission, and professionalism.)
  2. Evidence of commitment to her/his professional development.
  3. Nominee's involvement with committees or organizations at NIU, or within their profession.

A completed application packet consists of the Nomination Referral Form (PDF) and four letters:  a nomination letter and three letters of support.  The support letters must address the above topics.  Only these four letters will be considered for each nominee. All nominations must include the nominee's and nominator's name, title, and department.  Awards will be announced by the President in February 2010 and awards will be presented at a reception hosted by the President in March or April. Nominators are responsible for submitting the complete set of nomination materials. If you have questions, please contact Deborah Haliczer at 753-6039, or by email dhaliczer@niu.edu .

The Nomination Referral Form, nomination letter, and three letters of support should be sent to Deborah Haliczer, Co-Chair, SPSC Awards Committee, and must be received in the office of Human Resource Services (1515 W. Lincoln Hwy) by 4:30 p.m., Tuesday, December 1, 2009. Nominees will be asked to forward a vita when they are informed by the committee of their nomination.

There will be no extensions of the deadline, so please be sure to get ALL nomination materials in by December 1, 2009.

Thank you for recognizing excellence.
