Awards program recognizes employees, students

The Excellence Through Commitment Awards Program was established at SIUC in 2003 in accordance with the core values of Southern at 150: Building Excellence Through Commitment.

The core values state, "Excellence as the measure of all things: We will seek excellence in everything we do," and "We will recognize that Southern Illinois University Carbondale is a place that values people and the human spirit."

The establishment of these awards is evidence that SIUC is committed to recognizing the excellence in performance of its faculty, civil service, administrative/professional, graduate student, and student employees.

These awards will recognize employees who continually strive towards excellence while keeping the mission of the University, educating students, in focus.
