Leonard W. Sandridge Outstanding Contributor Awards Nominations close Friday, October 17!

Nominations are being accepted for the Leonard W. Sandridge Outstanding Contributor Awards until Friday, October 17. This award recognizes outstanding University staff and team members whose service and contribution far exceeds the overall mission and values of the University. Service contributions to the University can be in the form of service to students, other customers of the University, patients, management, fellow employees, or the University community.

Currently employed, salaried, and non-probationary University staff, Classified staff, UPG staff, UVA Health team members, and Contingent Workers (UVA Foundation, Aramark, Morrisons, etc.) are eligible for consideration. Teaching Faculty are ineligible for this award and will not be considered. Honorees will receive a $1,000 monetary award, an engraved gift, and an invitation to the Board of Visitors luncheon in December.

Important: If multiple team members would like to nominate the same individual, please coordinate to submit a single nomination. You may include additional endorsements or supporting materials from others as part of that submission.
