The deadline to submit nomiations for the 2024-2025 DFA Awards has passed. Award winners will be announced at the DFA Spring Awards Luncheon.

Annually, in the Division of Finance & Administration we recognize employees for their outstanding service to the Division and the University community. Identification of employee award winners goes through a nomination and selection process. The awards presentation is generally held during an annual Spring event hosted by the Vice President of Finance & Administration.
