Please join us on May 14, at 3:30pm, in HSW-300, to celebrate with your colleagues in a "Salute to Excellence" |
Salute to Excellence is the annual School of Medicine ceremony and reception that recognizes outstanding
staff and honors their crucial role in the success of the School's mission.
Tier Two Performance and Great People award winners are celebrated along with the 2008 recipients
of the prestigious Holly Smith Award for Exceptional Service to the School
of Medicine (see lists below).
Each year the School of Medicine recognizes outstanding staff performances
through the Staff Achievement and Recognition (STAR) Program. Twenty-two employees
were selected for this elite group from among nearly 5,000. The selection
process begins with nomination by the individual's supervisor, and final
selections are made through a school-wide review process. more
