USM Board of Regents Staff Awards nominations due by November 13!

Now is the time to make the contributions of an outstanding colleague widely known by nominating them for a USM 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 service in the University System.

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. Review the Overview document on the BOR Staff Awards page and tell the nominee you are nominating them.
2. Using the forms linked on the BOR Staff Awards page, complete the cover sheet, position description form, and your nomination letter. (Be certain to follow the stated formatting for all letters.)
3. Submit all three items as a single PDF to the TU Staff Senate Awards Committee, BORStaffAwards@towson.edu, by November 13. 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 13!
