2023 Outstanding Staff Awards

Outstanding Staff Awards is an annual event to acknowledge the professional accomplishments of UK staff members and to recognize those who received department, college, or unit-level awards at the higher university ceremony.

Sponsored by the President's Office and UK Staff Senate, Outstanding Staff Awards also features four unique awards based on nominations from community members. The category awards include Outstanding Staff Member as nominated by students, faculty, and staff. Of those nominations, an overall Outstanding Staff Award is granted to a staff member during the ceremony. Category and overall award winners are also given a cash prize in the following pay period.

Over 500 University of Kentucky staff members were nominated by their departments, colleges, and/or units for the 2023 awards ceremony. Of those nominated, 14 were selected as finalists for the category awards.

Outstanding Staff Awards Category Nominees

The Outstanding Staff Awards ceremony recognizes individuals who were selected for local-level awards and facilitates a university-wide review of nominees for a university-level Outstanding Staff Award. Categories are broken down by nominations from students, faculty, and staff.

Each submission is received by Staff Senate and made as anonymous as possible to avoid bias. A sub-committee of Staff Senators from the Special Events Committee, Employee Engagement Committee, Executive Committee, and officers review the nominations for award. No one who has been nominated for an award reviews the nominations. The Staff Senate Chair, Program Coordinator, and Special Events Committee Chair are ineligible for nomination for an award due to their work on the event and nomination review.
