Dear UNT Community,
Don't forget — The nomination window for the 2021 Staff Appreciation Awards and Presidential Awards closes Monday, Nov. 1.
Please consider recognizing your colleagues and students who embody the UNT spirit
through excellence in areas like customer service, leadership, community engagement,
inclusion and student success. All UNT faculty, staff and students are eligible to
submit a nomination.
Presidential Awards
Presidential Awards recognize members of the UNT community who embody the highest
levels of achievement, excellence and service. The awards may be presented in conjunction
with the Staff Appreciation Luncheon, Salute to Faculty Excellence, Honors Day or
at a time designated by the president. Nomination forms can be found online and submitted
to the Office of the President.
There are three Presidential Awards:
- The UNT Community Award, which honors students, faculty or staff members for outstanding service that has enriched the UNT experience for the UNT community;
- The Special Recognition Award, which is given to an extraordinary student, faculty or staff member (or group) who has contributed momentous, unique talent or service to the university and cultivated UNT pride; and
- The Bob Rogers Service and Community Engagement Award, which celebrates a faculty or staff member whose talent, dedication, passion and service enhances both UNT and the greater community and helps them maintain strong bonds. This award is named in honor of the late Bob Rogers, Professor Emeritus of music and former assistant dean of the College of Music, who was best known for volunteering his time as a pianist at campus events and as a fixture in the Denton community.
