Emory employees can be nominated for an Award of Distinction, which recognizes initiative, innovation and leadership in furthering Emory's vision as a "destination university." The deadline is Friday, Feb. 17.

Each year, the Emory University Award of Distinction Program recognizes 10-12 university employees who have made outstanding contributions to the Emory community. Honorees are recognized at the Awards of Distinction Dinner and receive a $1,000 award.

Nominations are encouraged for employees who have consistently demonstrated outstanding job performance and who have made contributions during the previous calendar year toward the achievement of Emory's strategic plan.

Full- and part-time staff who have been employed at least one year are eligible for nomination. For information on the nomination and selection process, nomination categories and the nomination form, visit hr.emory.edu/AwardOfDistinction.
