The goal of the Recognition and Appreciation Committee is to create continuous recognition opportunities for staff and students within the division. The committee responsibilities include managing and selecting divisional awards, enhancing the transparency of processes around award selection, encouraging participation in other awards throughout campus and our community, and celebrating the constant achievements of our staff.
Any questions, comments or concerns may be directed to Laura Enquist at ltenquist@ua.edu.
