The Johns Hopkins University Finance Employee Recognition Program is designed to acknowledge the efforts and contributions of University Finance staff. This program will recognize those employees who have performed above and beyond normal expectations, often defined as "Going the Extra Mile".
Awards will be made semi-annually. All employees within University Finance are eligible to be nominated and these nominations can come from anyone from the Hopkins community not including the employee's direct supervisor. While an employee may be nominated each semi-annual period, that employee may only be eligible to win the premium award once per fiscal year.
Recognition of recipients will be done semi-annually at an award ceremony, generally in the months of June and December (submission deadlines are May 1st and November 1st). All recipients, their immediate supervisor, all Finance Directors and the selection committee will be invited to the award presentation and each recipient will be presented with a Certificate of Recognition and a small gift. Additionally, a copy of the written nomination form and Certificate of Recognition will be placed in the employee's personal file.
Download the nomination form at Just Honoring U Nomination Form. Once you have completed the form, click the “Submit” button at the bottom of the form and follow the directions to email the completed form. You must complete the entire form for it to be considered.
If you have any questions or are unable to access the form, please email finance_solutions@jhu.edu.
