Plant and Environmental Science Faculty and Staff Appreciation Awards

The Department of Agronomy and Horticulture desires to recognize faculty and staff and associates of the department for activities that are outside their normal job description and impact positively on the Plant and Environmental Sciences Department activities. The activity can be a one-semester activity or a long-term activity that has benefited the Department of Agronomy and Horticulture. The award in not limited to members of the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences but can include people outside the department that have worked closely with the department to benefit the department.

The award shall be given for a single, extraordinary activity, such as student club supervision, faculty senate, or other special programs. The award shall be given for one specific activity, not a combination of activities or general service. Recipients may receive the award for different activities, but one candidate can receive no more than one award every two years.

Nominations are made by a committee designated by the department head. University guidelines must be followed when giving the award.
