2021-2022 Chancellor's Distinguished Staff Award Application Open
February 21, 2022 4:34 PM

I take great pleasure in announcing the annual Chancellor’s Distinguished Staff Award Program.  This program is designed to recognize outstanding contributions to the work of the University by members of the staff.

Any member of the campus community (faculty, staff, or students) may make nominations.  A program description may be found on the Illinois Human Resources website at: CDSA Program.  Nominations may be made at http://go.illinois.edu/cdsanomination.  Nominations will close at 5:00 p.m. on Monday, April 25, 2022.

Up to eight civil service staff members will be honored at a reception hosted by the Chancellor, where they will receive a $1,000 award and a commemorative plaque.  A permanent plaque in the Illinois Human Resources Office commemorates recipients for each year.

The work of this campus could not be carried on without the dedicated support of our civil service staff.  This program provides an opportunity for all of us to show our appreciation to those individuals whose service has been exceptional.  I encourage you to participate in the nomination process for what has been a genuinely meaningful and appreciated recognition program.

Full-time civil service staff with at least two years of full-time service at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign are eligible. 

If you have any questions, please contact Deb Stone, Executive Director, Illinois Human Resources Administration at debstone@illinois.edu.

Thank you for your continued support of civil service staff and your willingness to help honor their accomplishments.

Sincerely,

Robert J. Jones
Chancellor
