• Secretarial/Clerical

• Technical

Employees may be nominated for these awards by any regular Auburn University employee, including university faculty. Nominations are not limited to your immediate area of employment. In order to nominate an employee, a nomination form must be completed and submitted to the Spirit of Excellence Award Selection Committee.

Nominations must be received by the 15th of each month. Nominations will remain in effect for a period of one year from the date submitted.

In order to be selected as a Spirit of Excellence Award winner, an employee must:
