The employees of FSU’s Division of Academic Affairs provide excellent customer service and personalized attention to our university’s students, faculty, administrators, and staff. The Academic Affairs Awards Program formally recognizes meritorious service provided by our employees through two types of awards:
The Sustained Service Award recognizes staff members who have reached (or will reach) the milestones of 10, 20, 30, and 35 consecutive years of service during the 2025 calendar year. This information is provided by HR using OMNI.
The Exemplary Service Award is bestowed upon a staff member in each of the seven categories below following a nomination process. We encourage administrators, faculty, staff, and students to nominate a worthy academic affairs staff member. Individuals may nominate more than one employee, multiple nominations may be submitted for the same employee, and self-nominations are also accepted.
