Staff Senate seeks U-Shine award nominations

The U-Shine Award was developed by UND Staff Senate to recognize and award outstanding staff employees who make a difference on our campus. All benefited staff employees are eligible for nomination. UND faculty, staff, and students are encouraged to nominate and recognize that special someone who they believe did something extraordinary, or have gone above and beyond the call of duty in one or more of the following categories:

  • Excellent Team Player
  • Positive Attitude
  • Outstanding Customer Service, Innovation, & Creativity
  • Going the Extra Mile; Magnificent Motivator
  • Loyalty and Commitment to UND
  • A Category of the Nominator’s Choosing

Nomination forms are available at the bottom of the page on the Staff Senate Website.

The deadline for submission is the 15th of each month. All nominations received after the 15th will be considered the following month and all nominations are considered for six months.

Each month the Staff Senate Recognition Committee will select one award winner from the nominations received. The winner receives a certificate, $50, and is recognized in a fun-filled presentation with their co-workers and supervisor for their effort. The recipients are eligible for an annual award of $250 which is presented at the Staff Recognition Luncheon in May!
