Team of the Year Award

The Team of the Year Award recognizes one group on campus for their outstanding contributions to UW Tacoma. The team awarded this honor will receive a $1,000 professional development scholarship to use on expenses related to advancing the mission and performance of the team.

Eligibility

Groups can be comprised of staff, faculty, students, alumni, and/or community members. Groups must contain two or more people, of which at least one must be a staff member who has an active role in the group (i.e. not just taking notes, only providing administrative support, etc.). Campus divisions and academic schools/programs as a whole are not eligible.

Criteria

The group or team must contribute to the campus community through support of UW Tacoma’s mission, purpose, strategic plan, etc. and nominations will be considered based on the group’s degree of impact. Please outline the area(s) of impact in the nomination.

The award is not restricted to only the current year of service. The award is designed to recognize outstanding university teams and groups for their impactful work, which may cross over multiple years. The nomination may be for a single year, many years of service, or a specific project that a team worked on.

Nomination Process

The nomination is closed for 2021 but will be open in Summer 2022.
