An annual series of excellence awards was established in the fall of 2002 for staff in the College of Engineering. Nominations should be submitted no later than 5:00 pm on Friday, October 3, 2025. Members of the Deans Staff Advisory Committee (DSAC) are not eligible to be nominated for awards while they serve on the committee.  Please contact Will Sondgerath at wsondger@purdue.edu with any questions. The 24th annual recognition banquet for presenting all staff awards will be held on December 12, 2025.

One award and up to two finalist recognitions may be given annually to staff in each individual award category.

Candidates may be nominated by any faculty or staff member in the College of Engineering. If multiple nominations are received for the same employee, the nominators will be contacted and asked to collaborate in order to submit one nomination package.

Selections will be made by the Dean's Staff Advisory Committee.

Individual Awards:
Each award recipient will receive a cash award of $2,000, an individual plaque, and will be honored during the annual staff awards banquet. Each finalist will receive a cash award of $1,500, an individual plaque, and recognition during the banquet.

Team Award:
One team award will be given annually. Each team member will receive $500 cash award and an additional $500 for professional development. The winning team will also be recognized during the annual staff awards banquet.

Nominations may be carried over for one year following the initial submission (with the exception of recipients and finalists, who are not eligible to be re-nominated the following year). For this purpose, nominators and/or supervisors are given the option to re-submit the nominee along with updated materials.
