Anyone affiliated with FLSI — faculty, staff, or students — can submit a nomination. Anyone can be nominated, except yourself.

Not sure what to nominate someone for? Here are a few examples:

  • Mentoring a colleague or student
  • Stepping up during a crunch or crisis
  • A small act of kindness that made someone's day easier
  • Cross-departmental collaboration that solved a problem

By submitting a nomination, you're helping us celebrate great colleagues across the FLSI community. Selected nominees will be recognized publicly each month through social media, building screens, and email — so please only nominate someone you believe would welcome public recognition.

Can I nominate my supervisor, peer, or direct report?
Yes — you can nominate anyone at any level, including your supervisor, a peer, or someone you supervise.

How often can I submit a nomination?
As often as you'd like.

How will I know if my nomination was selected?
Selected nominees are celebrated each month across FLSI's recognition channels.

Who do I contact with questions?
