The Office of Human Resources has announced that nominations are now open the 2025 Chancellor’s Citation Awards, which celebrates individual staff members and staff teams whose work has significantly enhanced the university’s mission and honors those who demonstrate excellence, innovation, and a meaningful impact within our community.

Since its inception in 1985, the program has recognized the exemplary service of UMass Amherst’s staff members, whose skills and efforts play a crucial role in achieving the university’s objectives. Recipients of this award consistently go above and beyond their duties, making a positive impact on their executive area and beyond.

Continuing the tradition, the award will be granted to as many as 10 individual staff members and two staff teams in GIC-eligible positions. The Chancellor’s Citation Awards will be presented at a ceremony this April 2025.

The Chancellor’s Citation Awards Committee is looking for examples of outstanding and original contributions to the university. Examples include exceptional performance or service, original contributions to the university and achievement of significant improvements in productivity or savings in operations.

Nominations are due online or in person in 325 Whitmore by 4 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 8. Please review the nomination criteria and guidelines prior to completing a nomination form.
