Esprit de Corps Award

Each year, the respective A/P and Civil Service Councils may determine that one individual is deserving of special recognition for their work on behalf of the membership and University. These individuals do not currently hold elected Council office, but are willing to spend their time and effort doing something for the good of the membership. It is the wish of each Council to recognize the dedicated work of these individuals who have gone above and beyond the call of duty.

Therefore, both Councils endorse the Esprit de Corps Award as being a one-time award given to those individuals who best exemplify dedicated, extraordinary work and who may not otherwise receive recognition for their efforts on behalf of the membership. The award need not be given annually unless each Council feels there are suitable recipients. In general, the following highlights outline this award:

  • Recipients will not currently serve as members of the Council
  • Recipients will be selected by their respective Councils for extraordinary work on behalf of the membership
  • Recipients may receive this award one time only
  • Recipients will be suitably recognized for their dedicated work at the Joint Awards Ceremony
  • Recipients will receive a personalized plaque at the Joint Awards Ceremony
  • Recipients will be highlighted in the University's annual publication of award winners.
