Any UH employee, faculty or staff, student or community member may nominate qualifying staff employees for consideration. In addition to the nomination, a minimum of two and a maximum of four recommendations will be accepted in support of each nomination. A nomination with fewer than two recommendations will not be considered. If more than four recommendations are received, only the first four will be used for consideration.

The Nomination Form and a minimum of two Recommendation Forms/Letters for each staff member nominated must be completed in full and submitted by the deadline for the nomination to be accepted:

The Nomination Form requires three key elements:

1. Job history at the University of the nominee obtained by the nominating party
2. A description of the overall job responsibilities of the nominee written by the nominating party
3. Descriptions of the outstanding traits and contributions of the nominee written by the nominating party

*No staff member can be nominated for a President's Excellence Award if they have previously won the award. Staff members may be nominated year after year, but only one nomination per employee can be accepted each year.
