September 3, 2009

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The University of Florida will once again seek nominees from its faculty and staff for the Superior Accomplishment Awards, starting Sept. 15.

The awards honor academic personnel and TEAMS and USPS employees who contribute outstanding and meritorious service in their field or to UF. The awards also seek to recognize employees who have made exceptional contributions to UF’s efficiency and economy or to the quality of life provided to students, faculty, alumni and employees. Nominations will be accepted through Oct. 30.

Superior Accomplishment Awards are presented each spring semester for the period covering the previous academic year. The 2010 awards will honor work done between Aug 1, 2008, and July 31, 2009. Awards are given in six categories, first at the division level and then at the university level: clerical/office support; support services; scientific/technical; administrative/supervisory; administrative/professional; and academic personnel.

Division-level winners each receive $200 along with a certificate of appreciation and a memento coffee mug. Each division winner is eligible to be selected for one of six $4,000 university-level awards or one of eight $1,000 awards sponsored by The Gabor Agency (four awards) and Willis-HRH of Gainesville Inc. (four awards).

UF’s Superior Accomplishment Awards program is coordinated by Human Resource Services. For more information, visit the program Web site at www.hr.ufl.edu/awards/saa or contact Kevin Clarke at 352-392-4777.
