Dear Colleagues,
The University of Florida 2014-2015 Superior Accomplishment Awards program recognizes faculty and staff who have shown efficiency or economy in their work, have contributed outstanding and meritorious service, or who have improved the quality of life provided to students and employees. Each winner was nominated by supervisors, peers and customers who wrote glowing letters of recommendation on their behalf.
I am pleased to announce the winners in Division 5, which encompasses our six health-related colleges. They will receive cash awards of $200 each, a framed certificate and a commemorative coffee mug, and will be considered for university-level awards, which offer eight $1,000 and six $2,000 cash prizes. On March 18, an awards banquet will be held at the Paramount Plaza Hotel to honor our winners and to recognize their nominators, supervisors and college deans. Our Division 5 winners have been submitted as nominees to compete for the university-level Superior Accomplishment Awards.
