Nominate an outstanding staff member for a USM Board of Regents Staff Award

Towson University staff members are the backbone of the university, providing essential support to students, faculty, administration, and each other. Whether you work closely with them, see their positive impact on members of our community, or are consistently impressed by their efforts, now is the time to make their contributions widely known by nominating them for a Board of Regents (BOR) Staff Award. This award, presented annually by the University System of Maryland (USM), is the highest honor bestowed upon full-time non-exempt and exempt staff employees with at least 5 years of continuous service at their home institution.

Staff, faculty, alumni, students, and members of the external community are encouraged to nominate TU staff members in the award category that best reflects their nominee’s contributions. Full award category details may be found on the BOR Staff Awards page of the Towson University Staff Senate (TUSS) website.

  • exceptional contribution to the institution and/or unit to which the person belongs
  • outstanding service to students in an academic or residential environment
  • extraordinary public service to the university or greater community
  • effectiveness and efficiency
  • inclusion, multiculturalism, and social justice

Nominating someone is easy:

  1. Complete the cover sheet and position description.
  2. Include a nomination letter and recommendation letter.
  3. Submit the cover sheet, nomination letter and recommendation letter as a single PDF to the TU Staff Senate Awards Committee, BORStaffAwards@towson.edu, by November 15. Note: The Awards Committee will work with Human Resources and/or the divisional Vice President to verify each nominee is in good standing with the university, not on probation or on a performance improvement plan.

Nominate yourself or someone who makes TU a better place by November 15!
