New Combined Chancellor’s Staff Excellence Award (CSEA) Program
November 30, 2022 11:32 AM

Dear Colleagues,

I am delighted to introduce the BRAND NEW 2022 – 2023 Chancellor's Staff Excellence Award (CSEA) Program. The CSEA Program combines the Chancellor’s Academic Professional Excellence (CAPE) award and the Chancellor’s Distinguished Staff Award (CDSA) into a unified Chancellor’s staff award program. This approach allows our campus to adopt a single program with one set of rules and protocols to recognize and reward exemplary staff service, establishing university-wide visibility. This also supports campus efforts in fostering one staff community between Academic Professionals and Civil Service employees.

The new 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 Friday, January 20, 2023, at 5:00 p.m. If you have any questions, please contact Shari Mickey-Boggs, Senior Associate Chancellor for Human Resources, at smboggs@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
