Must be committed to shared governance and participatory decision-making and must foster inclusiveness, respect, and professional excellence.
UO Senate Classified Staff Leadership Award recognizes a classified employee who is a leader in one or more of these areas—personal and professional development, a respectful work environment, or diversity. Makes “a difference through their actions and through collaborative relationships.”
UO Senate Award for Shared Governance, Transparency, and Trust is given to the person who has best exemplified the principles of shared governance, transparency, and trust during the past year.
