Applauding This Year's Employee Excellence Awards Honorees

December 18, 2024

Members of the Rutgers Community,

Last week, we hosted the second annual Presidential Employee Excellence Recognition Awards Ceremony. We celebrated 43 members of our community—recipients of individual and team awards—who have demonstrated exceptional dedication and excellence in their work at Rutgers.

I invite you to read the Rutgers Today story to learn about each of this year’s award winners and their accomplishments, including the first recipients of our newly established Lifetime Contribution Award for faculty and for staff. 

As we applaud these honorees, I recognize they are just a small sample of the dedicated and talented staff and faculty members whose daily commitment contributes so much to our scholarly community and to the betterment of the world. To read the nominating materials for our honorees—and for all those who were put forward by their peers for awards this year—is to feel incredible pride in this institution.

My thanks to all those who have made this new tradition a success, including all our nominators, the award committee, and all the offices that support the program and stage the ceremony. I hope this tradition will continue for many years to come. 

Please join me in recognizing and congratulating our 2024 honorees. For information on the recognition program, visit the website.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Holloway
President and University Professor
