“These awards are not just about acknowledging individual achievements, but also about fostering a culture of excellence at CSU,” said Joe Fattor, a member of the APC Recognition Committee. “By recognizing those who go above and beyond, we inspire others to do the same. We are all part of the CSU community, and we all have a role to play in making it a better place. Whether it’s a colleague who consistently exceeds expectations, a leader who inspires others, or someone who goes the extra mile to help students and colleagues, there is someone in your area who deserves to be nominated.”
Other ways to recognize employees can be found on the CPC’s awards web page.
