President's Awards for Excellence

The awards recognize PAT, OS, and EE staff members for outstanding performance and distinguished service to the University of New Hampshire and its mission.

Do you work with or interact with a UNH staff member (OS, PAT, or EE) whose work and commitment make a significant impact and contribution to our UNH Community? Our 2,000+ UNH staff work in hundreds of various roles, in locations across the state and around the world, and every one of them is valued and important in their contributions to the university. We encourage you to take the time to submit a nomination on behalf of that staff member who is making a difference, going above and beyond, and who demonstrates outstanding performance and service in their role within the University. Share their story and help us to learn about and celebrate the ways this individual helps move UNH forward. This is a peer-nomination award.
