Nomination Period: September 15 to November 15

I am pleased to announce the opening of nominations for the University of Florida’s Superior Accomplishment Awards Program. The purpose of the program, now in its twelfth year, is to recognize faculty, Administrative and Professional (A&P), and University Support Personnel System (USPS) employees who have contributed outstanding service in their fields during the academic year of August 1, 1999 to July 31, 2000.

Please don’t miss this chance to recognize those among us who make the extra effort to contribute. This year’s nomination period begins September 15 and runs through November 15, 2000.

Division-level winners each receive $200, along with a certificate of appreciation and memento coffee mug. Each division winner then is eligible to be selected for one of six university-level awards of $1,000 each or one of six $500 awards sponsored by The Gabor Agency, Inc.
