Each year through the President’s staff awards, we recognize and celebrate staff members who demonstrate outstanding achievement and excellence within the UBC community, and who enable us to shape the future of research, teaching, and work.
Once again, I invite you to nominate your colleagues for the 2021 awards. Nominations may be submitted by faculty, staff, and students. The deadline for nominations is 4pm on March 19, 2021.
There are two award programs, each with distinct criteria and eligibility.
