Individual Staff Sustainability Award

Description: The Individual Staff Sustainability Award recognizes a staff member who has made exceptional positive contributions to UCalgary’s sustainability practices and our world's sustainable future. Staff nominees must have led one or more initiatives that have made a lasting and measurable impact at UCalgary. Initiatives that also advance sustainability in local or global contexts are considered assets, but are not required for nomination.

Sustainability may or may not be one of the nominee’s defined job responsibilities. Strong nominations for the Individual Staff Sustainability Award will demonstrate significant progress in advancing UCalgary’s Institutional Sustainability Strategy through high-impact projects and/or programs. This award recognizes that most high-impact projects and programs involve systems-level changes that, by nature, include many contributors. Staff members from the Office of Sustainability or Sustainability Studies are not eligible for an individual award; however, cross-departmental teams and projects that they are part of are eligible.

Eligibility:

• Nominees must be current full-time or part-time employees (AUPE or MaPS) of UCalgary.
• Only individual staff members can be nominated for this award.
• Self-nominations are accepted.

References: The two requested references should be able to provide insight into the validity of the candidate’s submission, particularly regarding the impacts. References could include a supervisor, instructor, partner, stakeholder, beneficiary of the project, etc.
