Nominate a Staff Member for NC State’s Awards for Excellence

Colleges and business units are accepting nominations for the 2023 NC State Awards for Excellence.

The award is the most prestigious honor that a staff member can receive.

The program honors NC State staffers for accomplishments and contributions above and beyond their normal job duties. Award recipients demonstrate excellence in their departments or divisions, the campus community, the state of North Carolina or the lives of others.

NC State University goes through a two-part process to select Awards for Excellence recipients.

The first step takes place in the colleges and business units. You can nominate colleagues in one of seven categories by visiting the Awards for Excellence page and filling out the nomination form on that page. Information about who’s eligible to receive an award also can be found on the page. After the nomination process ends, up to 60 winners will be named at the college and business unit level.

The second part of the process is the selection of 12 university-level Awards for Excellence winners. A committee will select those recipients from among the 60 winners. The 12 university-level recipients are also submitted for consideration for the Governor’s Awards for Excellence, which is the highest honor awarded to a state of North Carolina employee.

Each college and business unit has its own deadline for submitting nominations. Please contact the college or business unit coordinator listed on the Awards for Excellence page for deadline information.
