In recognition of the outstanding performance of our faculty and staff, and their dedication to students and our community—on-campus, provincially and globally—a number of annual awards have been created to acknowledge their efforts and achievements, and celebrate their contribution to our success as an institution. Up to 30 annual Presidential Recognition Awards of Merit for UPEI Faculty—for exceptional performance by faculty in teaching, scholarly endeavours, service, and combined achievements—and seven Presidential Recognition Awards for UPEI Staff—for exceptional performance by staff—in each of seven categories, will be awarded. Both sets of awards will be presented at a celebratory event on April 5, 2012 at 3 pm in McMillan Hall at the W.A. Murphy Student Centre. Working with their fellow VPs, as well as Deans and Directors, Dr. Jim Randall, VP Academic will lead the process to determine successful recipients of faculty awards, and Mr. Phil Hooper, VP Administration and Finance will lead the process to determine staff award winners. Nominations for both faculty and staff awards close on March 9, 2012.
