The presentation of the Distinguished Performance Awards was initiated in 1994 to recognize outstanding job performance and long-time service by the university’s non-faculty employees, both classified and non-classified. New categories and a new reward system for the distinguished performance awards were implemented last year. Winners of the 2012 Distinguished Performance Awards will be announced May 7.
