Nomination Review and Selection Process
An anonymous committee reviews all nominations, checks references, interviews nominators and selects the award recipients. The committee is composed of a representative from each University division; and, each committee member is a past Merit award winner. The team may include students. A Human Resources professional serves as the committee ex-officio (has no vote). All nominations are kept confidential.
HR Service Awards
Each year individuals are honored for their number of years of continuous, full-time service, as they hit each 5-year milestone. That is, individuals receive awards at 5 years, 10 years, 15 years, and so on. The number of service years is calculated from the date when full-time employment begins and there are no breaks in the full-time service. Individuals to be honored each year will be contacted annually in the spring, prior to the ceremony.
