Quarterly Awards
Awards are presented three times per year. An outstanding individual is recognized in each of the three major quarters.

Any full-time or part-time classified employees is eligible. Nominations are solicited via campus e-mail. Completed forms are collected by the Classified Employee Recognition Committee (CERC) chairperson for review and selection.

CERC selects each quarterly award recipient based on the information provided by nominators, together with submitted letters of support. The CERC advisor compiles verbiage directly related to the chosen recipient and provides it to the President's administrative assistant.

The award certificate is created by the Community Relations department. Framing is authorized by the President and comes out of the College Relations and Marketing budget. 

Awards are presented at the All-Staff Meeting within the quarter for which the recipient is receiving the award.
