UF/IFAS Superior Accomplishment Awards

In 1998, the Florida Legislature authorized the creation of a State University System-wire Superior Accomplishment Awards program. At each of the eleven universities, divisional awards are presented, and divisional honorees are legible for University-wide recognition.

The University of Florida has established seven divisions based on unit of organizational lines. IFAS comprises one such division. Within each division, there are six award categories, and each person selected as an honoree in each category receives a check for $200, a certificate and a commemorative coffee mug set. Divisional honorees are elegible for recognition on a University-wide basis for each category.

On Tuesday March 24th of 2009, the UF/IFAS Superior Accomplishment Awards took place in the Salons D & H Grand Ballroom at the J. Wayne Reitz Union. This award is one of the highest recognitions a University of Florida staff member can achieve followed only by the Superior Accomplishment Award at the University level which is also given along with $2,000.
