2023 President’s awards for staff: Call for nominations

Each year through the President’s staff awards, we recognize and celebrate staff members who demonstrate outstanding achievement and excellence within the UBC community, and who enable us to shape the future of research, teaching, and work.

I invite you to nominate your staff colleagues for the 2023 awards. Nominations may be submitted by faculty, staff, and students. The deadline for nominations is 4pm on April 7.

There are two award programs currently open, each with distinct criteria and eligibility.

President’s Service Awards for Excellence

This is the premier staff award at UBC, and honours staff with sustained exceptional contribution. All UBC Vancouver and UBC Okanagan staff with five or more years of continuous service are eligible for this award. Up to five recipients receive a medal and $5,000 each.

The President’s Staff Awards for UBC Vancouver staff honour exceptional contribution in specific areas that are important to UBC. All staff at UBC Vancouver with two or more years of continuous service, and who are actively employed by UBC at the time of the award presentation, are eligible. This year, a new category, Collaborative Excellence, has been introduced to recognize collaborative achievements. This category is open for nominations of groups of two or more staff, whereas the other five categories are open for nominations of individuals. Up to 12 recipients/groups are selected (two per category), and recipients receive $2,000 each (the prize is split for Collaborative Excellence group recipients).

The six categories of the President’s Staff Awards include:
  • Leadership
