DAFVM Spotlight Guidelines:

The drawing for the DAFVM Staff Spotlight recognition will take place the last week of each month and be announced the first working day of the upcoming month. Names are pulled randomly from a pre-populated Banner list.

To be the highlighted staff for any given month, the employee must have acceptable recent performance evaluations on file. Those evaluations will be reviewed prior to acknowledgement of the employee and awarding a prize. The evaluation itself will not be viewed but rather HRM will provide a general recommendation based on the employee’s past reviews.

The selected employees will be notified by letter from Dr. Rueben Moore, interim Vice President, DAFVM.

A required photo and a brief interview of the recipients will be posted on the DAFVM Staff Council Web page. This information will also be displayed on the monitors of the first floor of the Bost Building, as well as in other MSU locations and publications.

Each recipient can choose one of the following prizes: $50 gift certificate to the University Florist $50 gift certificate to the MAFES Sales Store MSU apparel item ($50 value)

At each annual DAFVM Summer Celebration, the Staff Spotlight recipients from the previous year will be acknowledged. The DAFVM website will have an archive of all winners listed by month/date.

An employee cannot be chosen more than once during a two (2) year period.
