Employee Recognition

We strive to stimulate a culture of appreciation and foster a spirit of community. Every day is an opportunity for colleagues, co-workers and managers/supervisors to recognize employees for their contributions and service to the university.

Recognition can serve to energize and revitalize an employee and contributes to creating a more productive, motivated, and engaged employee.

Snapshot of Excellence

Do you know someone who carries out our core values to provide excellent service to students, co-workers, and our community? Is there an outstanding team who carries out NMU initiatives, programs, and projects through the consideration of NMU's mission, vision and core values? Do you think there's an individual or team who demonstrates our Innovation value through risk taking, problem solving, creativity and/or discovery?

Nominate that individual or team for an award!
