Congratulations to COSA Winners

kudos to award recipients

Dear One IT Colleagues,

This past Tuesday, several of our One IT colleagues were honored as recipients of the Chancellor's Outstanding Staff Awards (COSAs) during an award ceremony held at the Chevron Auditorium. Join me in congratulating all our award recipients for their hard work and dedication! 

COSAs are presented to individual staff members and teams who demonstrate exceptional initiative to create a significant positive impact on the UC Berkeley campus community. Nominations must be for work performed within the last three years.

These awards are among the highest honors bestowed upon staff by the Chancellor. The Chancellor's Staff Advisory Committee (CSAC) established and administers this award program. The process of awarding a COSA is based solely on the written nomination received by the committee as it aligns with a set of award criteria. A limited number of awards are granted each year. We have a wonderful One IT presence with members of our community who are members of CSAC: Clarissa Fermin, Casey Hennig, Colette Jackson, Miles Lincoln, Britt McClintock, and Faye Snowden - thank you for your service!
