Â鶹´«Ã½

The Distinguished Staff Award was established in 1997 as a special initiative of the Campaign for Â鶹´«Ã½. The fund, which is now an endowed account, reflects the generosity of many individual faculty and staff members, as well as a special contribution from former Pomona President Peter W. Stanley. The Distinguished Staff Award committee looks for a staff member who distinguishes herself or himself some way through service or effort beyond what is required in their daily job. Examples can include, but are not limited to, service to the entire constituency, consistent high level of performance, high performance in the face of particularly daunting work conditions, an outstanding act of some sort, exemplary personal characteristics--kindness, helpfulness, innovation or creativity. It can also be a staff member who goes out of their way to bring staff together or serves in some capacity that enhances the Â鶹´«Ã½ community. It could also be someone who goes out of their way to help or befriend students. Since staff are employed in so many different work situations on campus, the ways that staff can distinguish themselves are varied and complex. 

To be eligible for nomination, a staff member needs to have worked for Â鶹´«Ã½ for at least five years and cannot be a current member of the Distinguished Staff Award Selection Committee. Past awardees are not eligible for nomination.
