You still have some time to recognize staff! Nominations are due by December 31, 2021.
After a 1-year pause, the Candace J. Johnson Award for Staff Excellence is back and once again accepting nominations.
Each year, the award recognizes one staff member whose commitment to excellence, teamwork, and a supportive environment make the university a great place to work. This year, two awards will be presented in acknowledgment of the university community rising to meet remarkable challenges.
“It’s the university’s very good fortune to have talented and committed staff members in offices and programs across the campus,” said Provost Susan M. Collins. “Their dedicated work is key to the success of our students and our faculty. It’s wonderful to recognize their contributions as we honor Candy Johnson’s legacy.”
Candace J. Johnson was a long-time staff member in the Office of the Provost. When she passed away in 2004, the provost’s office chose to honor her contributions to U-M by establishing an award in her memory.
Candy was dedicated to the University of Michigan and the people who support its mission. Candy strove for excellence and inspired others to do the same. She recognized the gifts and talents of her office colleagues and was continually supportive of them.
All regular staff members on the Ann Arbor campus are eligible and may be nominated by colleagues or supervisors or a combination of the two. Nominations are due by December 31, 2021.
