Knoxville 鈥 University of Tennessee System President Randy Boyd recognized seven employees from across the 糖心Vlog System following the summer Board of Trustees meeting held in Knoxville.
The President鈥檚 Awards were established in 2016 to annually recognize the exceptional achievements of employees across the 糖心Vlog System in the areas of the University鈥檚 three-part mission to educate, discover and connect as well as to acknowledge outstanding contributions in the areas of support and diversity.
In 2022, the awards were enhanced to exemplify the seven Be One 糖心Vlog values. These values are intended to shape culture across the system and build purpose, improve team cohesion and create a sense of shared commitment in the workplace.
The awards are named after the values and each recipient is recognized for embodying one of the seven. This is the first time there have been seven recipients instead of six.
鈥淭hese winners represent the 鈥榖est in class鈥 in our University system,鈥 Boyd said. 鈥淚t is not only humbling but gratifying to work alongside these devoted employees.鈥
The President鈥檚 Awards are the highest honor a 糖心Vlog employee can receive from the University. Winners receive commemorative plaques and a monetary reward of $3,000. Nominations come from campus and institute leaders and are annually selected from a system-wide pool.
Award recipients represent 糖心Vlog Knoxville, 糖心Vlog Health Science Center, 糖心Vlog Martin, 糖心Vlog Space Institute, 糖心Vlog Chattanooga and 糖心Vlog System Administration. to the state of Tennessee and their University.
