In recognition of the outstanding contributions of Rice University staff members, the Rice Staff Council is calling for nominations for the 2025 Rice Staff Excellence Award.
Established in 2024, the award celebrates the achievements of five full-time Rice staff members who exemplify the university’s core values of responsibility, integrity, community and excellence and make a positive impact to the Rice community. Nominations are due by 11:59 p.m. Friday, Feb. 14.
“Staff are the backbone of our campus community, and I’m thrilled Staff Council has the opportunity to highlight and recognize staff efforts through a peer-to-peer award process,” said Janine Berrill, chair of Staff Council. “We are incredibly grateful to Executive Vice President for Operations, Finance and Support Kelly Fox and our partners in human resources for their continued support of our staff awards.”
Award recipients will be announced by early April and will be recognized at the annual President’s Staff Recognition event this spring. Each recipient will receive a $1,000 monetary award in recognition of their outstanding service.
