Medical School Administration Staff Awards Program

Medical School Administration is pleased to present three staff awards to individuals for extraordinary performance, well beyond the scope of their normal duties. These awards are given to acknowledge individuals, teams and managers for efforts and activities that support the school's mission.

Nominations for staff awards will be requested each year in November. This year's deadline for submitting nominations is Dec. 6. The nomination forms will be available on-line or in hard copy. The recipients will be selected by a committee of MSA employees and managers and will be announced at the annual MSA holiday luncheon in December. Award nominees and recipients will receive a certificate of achievement. In addition, recipients of individual awards will receive a cash award of $500 and a plaque.
