Highlighting Staff Achievements

July 16, 2024

Berkeley IT Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce the 2023-2024 Berkeley ITSpot Awardrecipients. This award is designed to recognize special contributions of staff, as they occur, for a specific project or task. These awards also recognize and reinforce the behaviors and values important to us in Berkeley IT.

As we gear up for another academic year, I want to express my sincere appreciation for all your hard work and dedication. I understand this past year has been filled with uncertainty and transition. You have remained steadfast in your collaborative efforts to solve technical challenges in service to the greater good of the campus community. Though I’ve only been here a short time, it’s obvious that this department is full of kind, talented, and hard-working people. 

Please join me in congratulating all our award recipients!

COSA & EIM Awards

Back in April, we congratulated the winners of the COSA Awards and the Excellence in Management (EIM) Awards. Kudos again to all award recipients this past year!  

Remember, you always have the option to thank or celebrate a colleague throughout the year by nominating them through our Pay IT Forward program. Stay tuned, the ability to nominate colleagues for spot awards will resume this fall once funding is received for the program.

Again, thank you for your hard work, dedication, and service to the UC Berkeley community!

Regards,

Tracy
