ASU Staff Recognized for Outstanding Student Service
The Graduate College is thrilled to announce the awardees of the first annual Graduate College Staff Awards for Excellence. Created to acknowledge the significant contributions made by ASU staff who support graduate student needs, the awards spotlight individuals who go above and beyond to fulfill the mission of the university and contribute to graduate student success.
We received an overwhelming number of nominations from staff, faculty and students from across the university, which underscores the widespread recognition ASU staff members deserve.
