Employee of the Month


Initiated by Classified Staff Employee Council, recognition will be given to classified employees who foster a personalized environment which supports members of the university community as well as the mission of Central Washington University. This award was created so that employees who go above and beyond their normal job responsibilities, who offer unique contributions to their work unit and/or the university as a whole, who have a significant positive impact on those they work with or come in contact with, and who consistently perform for the betterment of CWU could be recognized for their work.

Anyone may nominate an employee for this award. Award recipients will receive a $125 award and will be recognized at a quarterly celebration.
