Dear Campus Community,
I would like to remind you to submit your nominations for individual staff members and/or teams of staff for the 2018 Chancellor's Outstanding Staff Awards. The Chancellor's Outstanding Staff Award (COSA) is one of the highest awards for staff at UC Berkeley.
This award recognizes staff who have demonstrated exceptional initiative in at least two of the following areas:
-
fostering an equitable and inclusive community;
-
cultivating innovation, adaptation, and efficiency;
-
enhancing Berkeley's mission and reputation;
-
strengthening Berkeley's sustainability goals; and
-
engaging in and promoting mentorship.
Any member of the campus community, including staff, faculty, and students, may submit nominations for either individual or team awards. You may nominate a current Berkeley staff member who has been employed at the University for at least one year. Individuals with academic or executive tier titles are not eligible. Past nominees and recipients have come from all campus divisions and represent many different levels and classifications.
I encourage managers and supervisors to leverage this important opportunity to recognize the outstanding efforts of staff. You may review the guidelines, frequently asked questions and the nomination forms on the COSA website. If you would like more information about the awards, please email cosa@lists.berkeley.edu or call 510-642-7372.
To nominate an individual or team, please complete the online nomination form linked from the COSA website. Your nomination must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 31, 2018.
The Chancellor's Staff Advisory Committee (CSAC) administers this award program on my behalf and will join me and senior administrators in honoring the 2018 recipients at a reception this fall. Please do not miss this important opportunity to recognize and honor the outstanding, hardworking staff who help make Berkeley the exceptional place that it is.
Best regards,
Carol Christ
Chancellor
