Your Service Matters: Tell us How We Should Recognize It
The Staff Council Awards, Service, and Recognition (ASR) Committee is proud to recognize CU °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï staff and research faculty for their years of dedicated service to our campus community. In 2025-26 alone, we recognizedÌý725 staff and research faculty for reaching service milestones and contributing to the success of CU °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï.Ìý
Many employees may not realize thatÌýStaff Council is the only campus group that formally recognizes years of service for staff and research faculty. Currently, individuals are recognized at every five-year milestone with a personalized certificate signed by the Chancellor and a letter of appreciation from the Staff Council Tri-Chairs. Beginning at 15 years of service, recipients also receive an Amazon gift card, with the value increasing every five years, from $25 at 15 years of service to $150 for those with 35 or more years of service.Ìý
We know that meaningful recognition can have a positive impact on employee engagement, connection, and sense of value at work. As we evaluate our years of service recognition program, we want to ensure that the recognition we provide is meaningful and reflective of what staff and research faculty truly value.Ìý
Because Staff Council administers this program independently, we are limited in the types of recognition we can provide. While we continue to advocate for equitable compensation and benefits for staff and research faculty, we are not authorized to provide additional compensation beyond the recognition program itself. However, we are interested in learning what forms of recognition would feel most meaningful and impactful to you.Ìý
We invite all CU °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï staff and research faculty to share their feedback through ourÌý. Your input will help guide future enhancements to the program and ensure we are recognizing our colleagues in ways that better reflect their contributions to our campus community.Ìý
Thank you for helping us shape a recognition program that celebrates the dedication and impact of CU °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï staff and research faculty.Ìý
