Lone Pine Staff Recognition Award Nominations
The comprehensive Lone Pine Staff Recognition Program provides a variety of ways in which we recognize staff for their outstanding contributions to Dartmouth.
The Lone Pine Staff Recognition Awards include our flagship Sheila Culbert Distinguished Employee Award, Dartmouth's highest staff honor, and six Excellence Awards for individuals and/or teams in the following categories: Collaboration, Passion and Commitment, Innovation, Leadership, Unsung Hero, and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging.
The nomination period is now open. Submit nominations by 5pm on December 20, 2024.
Nomination Criteria
Sheila Culbert Distinguished Employee Award was established by President Emeritus Jim Wright and his wife Susan in 2008 to recognize a Dartmouth staff member, with at least five years of service, who has made a difference to the institution and to their colleagues; demonstrates a commitment to the highest work ethic and exemplary work performance; is both selfless and unwavering in dedication to the institution; and is relentless in the pursuit of excellence.
Excellence Awards recognize individual staff members or teams, with at least one year of service, who have demonstrated specific criteria related to each award category, that go beyond their basic job description, and support Dartmouth's Core Values.
Nomination Guidelines
Supervisors and co-workers, as well as staff from other departments, faculty, and students, are welcome to nominate staff for these awards. Each individual wishing to nominate a staff member should complete their own nomination form. In the past, strong candidates received thoughtful nominations from a range of colleagues from different capacities across campus. Nominations will be reviewed by cross-campus committees.
- Assume that the selection committee isn't familiar with this person and their role at Dartmouth. Provide context that will illustrate the effect of your nominee's efforts and accomplishments.
- Consider including perspectives of the nominee that are both internal to the department/working group and external to the department/working group.
- If appropriate, highlight institutional or cross-department efforts and interactions.
Nomination Process
The 2024 nomination period is now open. Submit your nominations by 5pm on December 20.
