A brief description of the institution’s employee community service initiatives:
The Staff Excellence in University Service Award (SEUSA) recognize excellence in service to the University among staff employees. These awards are intended to provide incentives for continued workplace performance to full-time staff employees who evidence significant contributions to the University community. There is no limit on the number of times an individual employee may receive an award, but individuals may not receive an award for two consecutive years. Six full-time staff employees will receive a one-time $1,500 award. The award will not be added to the base salary. The general intent of the awards is to serve all staff classifications, but the Review Committee will be looking at exceptional service to the University. More information can be found here: http://www.missouristate.edu/seusa/ In addition, the Excellence in Community Service Awards are presented annually to faculty and staff to recognize excellence in volunteer work with charitable, nonprofit, church or similar organizations within the community. The Missouri State University Foundation will fund up to four $1,000 cash awards, two designated for staff and two designated for faculty. All full time faculty and staff with at least three years of service at the University are eligible for the award.
