Dear Colleagues,

The nomination process for the 2023 VP-Dean’s Ovation Awards has officially begun. A longstanding awards program that began in 2008, the VP-Dean’s Ovation Awards is one of myriad ways by which the Faculty recognizes and applauds its administrative, operational and technical staff’s exceptional work.

Over the last six months, the VP-Dean’s Ovation Awards program has been revised so that it is more inclusive. With redesigned webpages containing clear instructions and a new user-friendly nomination form, it is now easier and efficient for nominators to nominate their employees and colleagues for the awards. We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to acknowledge your colleagues’ essential and outstanding contributions.

Please note that the deadline to submit nominations for the VP-Dean’s Ovation Awards has been extended to Friday, August 18, 5:00 p.m. EDT.
