The Division of Student Affairs is pleased to announce a new
staff recognition program, "The Golden Tusk."
"We were searching for a way to allow members of our
community to catch people doing the right things, for going above and beyond,
and helping to make campus life a little better for everyone who lives and
works here," said Danny Pugh, vice provost for Student Affairs and dean of
students. “The Golden Tusk is an
easy, online way for people to provide a piggy-pat on the back to well deserving
staff. This 'rec-HOG-nition'
program was designed to allow people a chance to extend a ‘thank you’ for a job well done.”
Each winner will receive a letter stating they have been
recognized by someone for their excellent, students’ first, work and will also
get a coveted “Golden Tusk” pin. These beautiful black and gold lapel pins are
emblazoned with the words “Golden Tusk,” and a gold Razorback that symbolizes
the spirit of teamwork, hard work, and the value of doing the right thing.
The process to nominate an individual for Golden Tusk could not
be easier. Simply visit the Sharepoint website, log-in with your uark.edu email ID and password, and follow the
instructions.
It really only takes a short moment to nominate someone, but
the recognition could last a lifetime.
