Nominations must be submitted electronically using the form below. Letters in support of nominations are strongly encouraged and can be sent with the normination form or submitted separately to the Assistant Dean for Finance and Administration (253 Cunz Hall - aflorentine@cph.osu.edu). Only one nomination form needs to be submitted. Nominations can be submitted at any time. The Selection Committee will meet during the Spring and all nominations received by April 30 will be considered during the Spring meeting. Nominations received after that time will be held until the following year.
Selection Committee and Process
During Winter, each division will elect one faculty member to serve on the Selection Committee. In addition, the staff member who received the award the previous year will also serve on the committee. During Spring, the Selection Committee will meet and select the staff person which will receive the award. The award will be announced at the annual staff appreciation event which is typically held during the summer. A cash award will be given to the recipient. Ann Florentine, Assistant Dean for Finance and Administration, will staff the committee and is, therefore, not eligible for the award.
