The Staff Recognition Subcommittee is committed to celebrating and appreciating the contributions of Rice University staff by overseeing key recognition initiatives. This subcommittee coordinates the annual Staff Excellence Award, ensuring a smooth nomination and selection process while continuously identifying opportunities for improvement. In addition to managing this signature event, the committee explores new ways to highlight and honor staff achievements throughout the year. Initially, this subcommittee consists of members from other committees due to its alignment with the awards cycle. However, if its role expands to include year-round recognition efforts, its structure will be reassessed to best support its evolving responsibilities.
