Gorlok Greats: nominate a deserving colleague by Sept. 30

Do you know a deserving staff member who meets the criteria for the Gorlok Greats award? If yes, take a few minutes and nominate him or her for the outstanding work he or she does.

This $500 award acknowledges either an individual act or a sustained effort of exemplary service. Last year we had 31 individuals recognized for their outstanding work with six finalists honored at the annual faculty/staff recognition breakfast.

Criteria for recognition:

• Contribute to University mission, values and goals.
• Positively influence others in working towards departmental or organizational objectives.
• Invest time and effort in coaching and/or mentoring.
• Develop innovative solutions to business challenges.
• Team effort and peer collaboration.
• Approach problems as opportunities for growth and learning.
• Achieve a desired outcome despite adversity (e.g. limited resources, time constraint).
• Consistently provide high quality, reliable and critical work that, if undone, would halt highly visible operations.
• Demonstrate a steady willingness to improve work operations and does so without prompting or fanfare.
