 Introducing
the Smith College Spotlight Awards Program!
View 2008 Spotlight Awards reception slide show
We are pleased to introduce the Spotlight Awards as
an added means of acknowledging and demonstrating timely appreciation and recognition
for the exceptional contributions of individuals at Smith. We encourage you to participate
in this program by nominating another employee for his/her extraordinary contributions
or service.
Throughout the 2008-09 academic year, we will recognize
60 members of the Smith community for their outstanding contributions to the College
through the Spotlight Awards Program. Smith’s new employee recognition program
is designed to acknowledge an increased number of staff in the Smith community whose
contributions go above and beyond the everyday scope of their responsibilities.
Similar to our previous employee recognition program,
all employees, managers, and supervisors are encouraged to nominate staff colleagues,
inside or outside of their departments, by submitting a Spotlight Award Nomination Form.
The Spotlight Awards cycle will run from April 1 - March 31. Senior Administrators
will receive nominations for staff working in their areas and select Spotlight Award
recipients.
Spotlight Awards have a pre-taxed value of $150.00 and
will be included in the recipient’s pay check usually within 2 weeks of receiving
recognition. Recipients will also receive a Spotlight Award Certificate from his
or her supervisor or department head. Periodically, we will feature all Spotlight
Award recipients and publish excerpts taken from the nomination forms.
In late April, Human Resources will host a celebratory
Spotlight Awards Reception for the entire community to gather and congratulate all
of the Spotlight Award recipients for the year. Recipients will be eligible to participate
in a special grand prize drawing.
