Fall Make a Difference staff award nominations dueOct. 20, 2010 KALAMAZOO--Nominations for the fall round of Western Michigan University's semiannual Make a Difference awards are due by Oct. 31. Anyone from the WMU community can cast a nomination, including faculty, staff, retirees, students and parents. Make a Difference is a campuswide peer-to-peer program that recognizes WMU staff for their accomplishments and daily investment of energy and creativity. It features semiannual and annual awards available to Staff Compensation System (those eligible for membership in APA and PSSO), AFSCME, MSEA and POA employees who provide exceptional services to the University. Every fall and spring, semiannual awards are presented to a maximum of 15 people. Those selected for the accolade receive a prize of $300, before taxes, and a certificate; are recognized at a special reception; and may be nominated for one of four annual Make a Difference awards that includes a pre-tax prize of $1,200. Semiannual award recipients may win multiple times, but are limited to one semiannual award per academic year. For nomination instructions and forms year round, visit WMU Make a Difference online.
