Hi Lanita,
We do awards for professional staff (we do not have different awards for categories of employees), collaborations including at least two offices, and student awards. Annually a selection committee of 8-10 is appointed to review submissions and select winners.
For more information: https://www.studentaffairs.miami.edu/resources/staff-resources/laurel-awards/index.html
I have found this work to always be a bit challenging, often hard to recognize individuals while trying to support the whole division. Lots of unsung heroes in our work.

Hello!
We are re-evaluating our division of student affairs awards programs. We currently only recognize outstanding staff members in classification categories (i.e. exempt, non-exept, administrative, service) and are looking at other models of recognition. Also, how are awards selected? Would appreciate anything you can share! Thank you very much.
