In 2006, SMU President R. Gerald Turner appointed a distinguished committee of administrators, faculty and staff to address the issues and challenges related to staff recognition.
The committee’s work resulted in the establishment of four Presidential Recognition Awards that annually highlight the contributions of a new staff member, a long-term staff member, an outstanding administrator, and an innovative thinker.
Winners of each category receive $1,000 and will be recognized at the annual Staff Celebration and Convocation on October 22, 2019.  For more information on how to nominate someone you know who deserves recognition, go to Employee Recognition Awards.Â
