History - The Lawrence C. McBride Prize was established by private donors in 2002 to recognize exempt staff for exemplary service to the 果冻传媒麻豆社. This prize, the first of its kind, complements but does not replace the Outstanding Staff Awards.

Eligibility - One prize is given annually to an employee in the exempt staff category. The selection committee strongly encourages nominations of employees who perform high-level administrative support functions to departments, colleges or administrative units. Executives are not eligible. Nominees must demonstrate evidence of upward progression within the university staff community and must have been employed in their current or similar positions at the university for a minimum of five years.

Award & Presentation – With current circumstances surrounding COVID-19, we will determine the best way to honor the awardee and communicate across the University the plans as we get through the winter and into the spring.

Criteria - Nominees for this prize should emulate as closely as possible the example that was set by retired staff member Larry McBride during his nearly 20 years of distinguished service to the university. The prize recognizes service far beyond that expected from the job description; in fact accomplishing one’s job well does not appear on the list of criteria. Selection criteria include the following descriptors: exemplary imagination, creative, can-do attitude, loyal, dedicated, supportive, enthusiastic, highest performance standards for him/herself and others, dependable and friendly.

The selection committee must receive an online submission that includes ALL of the following:

• .
• One nominating letter (two pages maximum length attached to the online nomination form) from any university administrator, faculty, or staff member who knows the nominee and who can speak to his/her service to the institution. This letter must provide a broad-brush description detailing the nominee’s accomplishments. 
• Two supporting letters (two pages maximum length attached to the online nomination form) from other administrators, faculty, staff, students or colleagues. The supporting letters must focus on two or three specific examples of the nominee’s exemplary service.
• Professional resume of the nominee (one page in length)—should be provided by nominee to nominator.

Note: All nomination materials received by the selection committee are confidential.

History - Outstanding Staff Awards have been in existence at the 果冻传媒麻豆社 since 1972. They began as an outgrowth of the longevity awards which are given annually to U of I staff who have been employed for 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 etc. in 5 year increments. The Outstanding Staff Awards are designed to honor a non-faculty staff member who is believed to be outstanding by their co-workers and/or supervisors. The goal of the awards effort is to encourage more support and recognition of the staff for their dedication and hard work on behalf of the 果冻传媒麻豆社.

Eligibility - All non-faculty staff members on board appointment who have not received the award during the previous three years are eligible. Members of the Outstanding Staff Awards Subcommittee are not eligible.

The awards are given in the following six categories:

• Senior Leadership
• Non-Faculty Exempt
• Technical/Paraprofessional
• Service/Maintenance
• Skilled Trades
• Administrative Assistants

Award & Presentation - With current circumstances surrounding COVID-19, we will determine the best way to honor the awardee and communicate across the University the plans as we get through the winter and into the spring.

Selection - Selection of Outstanding Staff will be made solely on the information provided on the nomination forms or, from nomination letters that address every criterion listed below. Selection will be made by a subcommittee of Staff Council members and past recipients of the award.

Criteria - Each nomination submission must address these four categories:

• Quality of Service
• Exceptional Effort
• Initiative
• Interpersonal Relationships

When considering someone for nomination, you should be familiar with their job description through contact with the nominee and their supervisor. Your submission should address those things that show an exceptional/extraordinary commitment, work ethic or job performance that makes this person truly outstanding.

History - The Outstanding Team Award was established in 2005 to honor exceptional teamwork performed by 果冻传媒麻豆社 staff members on one-time or unique non-routine projects. In spring 2005, the Department of Geological Sciences hosted the Goldschmidt Conference on the 果冻传媒麻豆社 Campus. It is from this conference that the endowment was established to complement but not replace the Outstanding Employee Awards sponsored by Staff Council.
