Nomination Requirements

The Excellence Through Commitment Awards at Southern Illinois University should be reserved to recognize excellence in performance among people in their respective roles of work classification. An employee must have been in employment for a period of five (5) consecutive years to be considered for any award. No employee will be awarded the same award more than once in ten years, or more than one award in a given year. In addition, no employee will receive more than one recognition watch over the span of their career at the University.

Nomination packages for all awards, in every category will consist of the following:

  1. A nominating letter from a “sponsor” for the individual nominated. This sponsor will assume the coordination role for assembling the package of materials described below. The sponsor letter will be no more than four type-written pages in length.

  2. A resume or vitae of the individual being nominated including a complete professional employment history. There is no limit to the length of this document but it should be a resume and is not to include exhibits or supporting information. The burden of making the case for excellence lies with the letters and the professional history of the nominee.

  3. Up to six supporting letters of no more than two type-written pages each. Depending on the award, letters can be from individuals within and external to SIUC.

  4. The complete package (sponsor letter, resume and up to six supporting letters) must be received by the Administrative/Professional Excellence Awards committee by January 22, 2008. Additional materials will not be accepted after this posted date.

  5. All materials should be submitted in an electronic format (i.e., via email or CD). Send email submissions to kbame@siu.edu.  Other submissions should be delivered to Anthony Hall, Room 214

  6. For additional assistance with the Outstanding A/P Staff member or the Outstanding A/P Teaching Support awards, call 453-2474.

The construct, clarity and composition of the nomination packages is important as they will become part  of the living history of excellence at Southern Illinois University Carbondale and will be archived in the Library as part of our institutional commitment to improvement.
