Call for Pringle Award Nominations

Nominations are being accepted through 1:00 p.m. on October 27, 2021. Anyone, from any staff, holding any title, may nominate a University Staff holding one of the above titles. If you would like to nominate a University Staff in an office support position who holds a title not listed above, contact John Lease, Secretary of the University Staff, john.lease@wisc.edu, to discuss.

Nominations will be reviewed by a five-person committee consisting entirely of University Staff. They will make the determination of who receives the award, which includes a pre-tax $1,000 payment. This award is made possible thanks to a generous endowment from Dr. Joel Margolis, who named the Award in honor of a valued member of his staff during the time that he worked at UW-Madison.

The nomination process is simple. Submit a Word document providing the name of the nominator, the name of the nominee, as well as their job title, and an explanation (up to 600 words) for why you think the nominee would make an appropriate winner of the Pringle Award. Send to: John Lease, Secretary of the University Staff, john.lease@wisc.edu.
