Final Week: Nominate TU Staff for USM Board of Regents Awards
Nominations are open for the 2025 USM Board of Regents Awards. This is the highest honor offered to full-time exempt and non-exempt staff employees within the University System, and final recipients can be awarded a total of $3000.
This year the Council of University Systems Staff and the USM Board of Regents have adjusted the award criteria to better reflect the non-exempt and exempt staff working environment. They have also streamlined the nomination process. Please check out the new criteria on our website and nominate someone today!
Nominating someone is easy:
- Review the award categories and criteria on the BOR Staff Awards page and tell the nominee you are nominating them.
- Complete the top portion of the cover sheet, the position description form, and your nomination letter using the forms linked on the BOR Staff Awards page. (Be certain to follow the stated formatting for all letters.)
- Submit all three items as a single PDF to the TU Staff Senate Awards Committee, BORStaffAwards@towson.edu, by December 9.
Tips for submitting a compelling nomination:
- Describe the impact. The nomination letter should state the category for which the nominee is being nominated and give testimony of exemplary performance in that category.
- Include measurable results. Where possible, include measurable results (e.g., monetary savings, a new product or service, clients receiving goods or services in a timelier and/or professional manner, staff morale increasing, students being more informed and better prepared for success at TU and beyond, new partnerships developed, support of TU priorities, etc.).
- Keep recognizing. If you submitted a nomination last year, consider revising it and citing more recent, specific examples of contributions made over this year and resubmit.
Full award category details may be found on the BOR Staff Awards page of the Towson University Staff Senate (TUSS) website.
Nominate yourself or someone else who makes TU a better place by 10 p.m. on December 9!
