The Heart of The Team - New Staff Recognition Initiative

We invite you to participate with your recognition to our amazing staff at the Jacobs School

Who can be nominated as The Heart of the Team?

Any staff member at the Jacobs School that excels in their role, influencing significantly the success of any department or unit, and that it is deserving of recognition at the School level.

Tips for nominating The Heart of The Team at Jacobs:

Provide specific and impactful examples
Highlight moments where they show initiative or innovation going above and beyond their role
Describe in detail what difference have they made for students or the community
Show how they excel consistently (not just once!)
Reinforce why they are uniquely deserving

How The Heart of the Team recognizes Staff?

Once your nominee is selected, we display the reasons for each nomination on the monitors of the Jacobs School and the CTSI building throughout the year.
