2024 Chancellor’s Staff Excellence Award (CSEA) Program
November 6, 2023 1:02 PM

Dear Colleagues,

I am delighted to open the 2023 – 2024 Chancellor's Staff Excellence Award (CSEA) Program. You may recall that we successfully adopted a single program for all staff last year with one set of rules and protocols to recognize and reward exemplary staff service, establishing university-wide visibility. This supports campus efforts in fostering one staff community between Academic Professionals and Civil Service employees.

The CSEA Program recognizes the importance of the outstanding work of all university staff members who perform a wide range of critical functions for our university. Staff provide crucial administrative support, support our research laboratories and education programs, serve our students and offer important outreach programs throughout the state and beyond.

Sixteen awards will be distributed based on eight functional categories (up to two awards per category). Nominees are evaluated on four criteria, all of which are located on the award website here. Each winner of the CSEA Award will be honored at a reception, where they will receive a $1,500 award (after taxes) and a commemorative plaque.

The deadline for submitting nominations to the CSEA nomination website is Monday, January 8, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. If there are questions, please email ihr-pso-csea@illinois.edu.

Thank you for your continued support of all employees on our campus and your willingness to help honor their accomplishments.

Sincerely,

Robert J. Jones
Chancellor
