The University of Colorado Staff Council (UCSC) is seeking nominations for the 2026 Staff Excellence Awards. These awards are designed to honor staff members who have exceeded their job responsibilities and demonstrated outstanding contributions to the university.
Eligible nominees include classified staff, university staff, research professionals, and professional research assistants from all four campuses as well as system administration. Faculty, temporary staff, student workers, and medical trainees are not eligible for nomination.
A total of ten winners will be selected—two from each campus and two from system administration. Each recipient will receive a $250 award at the Staff Excellence Award ceremony on April 24.
Nominations must be submitted by 5 p.m. on January 30. Winners will be notified by mid-March.
