Below is the list of awards available along with a description of the award. Nominations are due today, so please get your forms in.

- Individual Service Excellence:

This award recognizes individual staff members who have gone above and beyond in their service to students, colleagues and other Georgia College community members during the last academic year.

- Bobcat Spirit:

This award recognizes an individual who exemplifies the spirit of Georgia College and everything it signifies. Successful candidates can either bleed blue and green for the university's many sports teams or exude school spirit in the way they exemplify the Liberal Arts Mission - engaging in intellectual, professional or civic pursuits; taking initiative; answering the call to leadership; and building a better university community for the future.

- Bobcat Partner Award:

Not all members of Team Georgia College are employed by the university. This award recognizes a business or organization that, although not a part of Georgia College, helps the campus community achieve its mission and goals as if it were a member of the team. Successful nominations could be for a vendor that does business with Georgia College or an organization that partners with Georgia College departments, on-campus organizations or initiatives.

- The Eve Puckett Community Service Award:

This award recognizes an individual who donates his or her time to campus or community volunteer opportunities above and beyond their responsibilities at Georgia College.

Nominations must be submitted to Staff Council no later than March 22, 2024. If you have questions about the nomination process, please email staff_council@gcsu.edu.
