Spiro representing at the SoCon Awards

Each year the Southern Conference recognizes members of the faculty and staff who have made a significant impact in the lives of students and served their institution in significant ways.

At UNCG, the All-Southern Conference Staff Award recognizes a SHRA or EHRA staff member who has had a meaningful and positive impact on the University community. As a complement to the University Staff Excellence Award, the All-Southern Conference Staff Award provides another opportunity to recognize outstanding contributions made by a UNCG staff member.

The Award recipient will be invited to attend a home men’s basketball game to be presented their all-conference plaque by the Southern Conference Commissioner or their designee. One faculty and one staff award will be given each year. Awards will be made based on the nominee’s career at UNCG, with particular emphasis placed on the most recent academic year.

Review criteria

The Staff Senate Recognition Committee will review the nominations and put forth their selection to the Staff Senate Executive Team. Final recommendations will be sent to the Provost for approval and then communicated to the Southern Conference by UNCG’s Faculty Athletic Representative.

Award criteria are:

  1. Consistent record of service to the UNCG yielding tangible and documented benefits to the UNCG community.
  2. Demonstrated ability to bring out the best in others and create conditions for success.
  3. Tangible and beneficial impacts on student life and the local community through leadership and service.

Awardees need not be outstanding on all criteria, but excellence in at least one area and meaningful contributions in all areas are required.

Nomination Process

Each nomination must include a letter of nomination that addresses the relevant review criteria and a resume or curriculum vitae.

*Self-nominations are welcomed
