1. Determine the nominee
Nominations are based upon contributions during the last fiscal year, with the exception of nominations for Sustained Excellence. When considering a candidate for a Superior Accomplishment Award, the committee will take special consideration to candidates who have gone above and beyond the scope of a candidate “doing their job” as outlined in their job description. The committee would like you to consider the following:
- How has this person gone above and beyond the duties and responsibilities in their job description?
- Has this person set an exemplary level among coworkers? If so, how?
- Please provide specific examples of how this employee took initiative to complete projects or was creative in completing assigned duties.
- Has the candidate found innovative solutions to generate efficiency and/or demonstrated creative problem-solving in the department? Please highlight these actions and the positive results they achieved.
- Has this individual’s forward-thinking approach advanced the mission of the university? Please share, using detailed examples, how their ideas, actions, and attitudes have positively affected the department, university, and broader community.
- Has the candidate gone above and beyond by volunteering to participate in programs/committees outside their job performance to enhance the university as a whole?
- Has the employee volunteered in the community or applied their skills at UF to help individuals in the community? If so, how?
