Any University Services employee may nominate a fellow University Services employee who meets the eligibility requirements. To nominate, download or complete the online nomination form. Individuals who wish to self-nominate are encouraged to work with their manager when filling out the nomination form.  If you prefer to provide a spoken nomination, instead of written, please contact Jenna Glass at 609.258.9044. There is no limit to the number of nominations an individual may submit.
