Classified Senate

Outstanding Classified Professional

of the Year

The Classified Senate believes that there are individuals who exemplify what being a “Classified Professional’ represents.  These individuals excel in areas such as customer service, leadership, teamwork, and community involvement.  In order to recognize these individuals, the “Outstanding Classified Professional” award program was integrated into the Classified Senate in March 2010.  The Senate wishes to recognize one classified professional per year through this award and it is the hope of the Senate that these individuals will be role models for their peers and co-workers for years to come. 

The Senate shall ask for volunteers to serve on this committee which shall be appointed each January by the Governing Council.  The previous year’s winner shall also be invited to serve. The award shall be given at the last Town Meeting of each academic year.  The Award consists of a cash amount (to be determined by Senate each year based on available funds), a framed certificate presented to the Awardee, and the Awardee’s name added to the college plaque in the Administration Building Lobby.
