BCOE Staff STARs Program
This initiative aims to recognize and celebrate our fantastic staff members' outstanding contributions, achievements, and dedication at the Bourns College of Engineering. The program is designed to acknowledge and honor the exemplary efforts that our staff members put in to make our college successful, promote professional development, and create a positive work atmosphere.
Program Overview
The BCOE Staff STARs Program is designed to align with the behavioral indicators of the university's Performance Management framework. These indicators recognize and promote behaviors and performance that embody the College's values. By integrating the STAR Program with these indicators, we aim to create a comprehensive staff award program that reflects our commitment to excellence.
Eligibility and Nominations
All BCOE staff members are eligible for nomination, except those represented by TX. We encourage you to nominate your colleagues who demonstrate exceptional qualities. The nomination process is straightforward, starting by recognizing the outstanding colleagues who work with you. You can submit an online form highlighting your nominee's actions that align with the award category criteria and the relevant UC Performance Management behavioral indicators. Self-nominations are allowed and encouraged. A committee will review all nominations based on established criteria.
