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.
