Staff Council
Presidential Excellence Awards
Limestone University recognizes each year faculty and staff members who go above a beyond to provide exceptional customer service and quality impressions in the classroom.
Dr. Darrell Parker and his wife, Kathy, announced in 2018 that they were endowing the new "Presidential Excellence Awards Program" at Limestone University. Through a $25,000 contribution by the Parkers to an endowed fund, the Presidential Excellence Awards Program will provide two annual $500 cash prizes to faculty and staff members who exhibit exceptional customer service and superb high impact practices in the classroom. Until the endowed fund grows to support the yearly gifts, the Parkers are providing the cash prizes through a restricted annual fund.
"We want Limestone University to be well-known for its excellent customer service and high impact practices in the classroom," Parker said. "Because of that, we need to regularly recognize and celebrate the best examples.
The Faculty High Impact Award is given to a faculty member who has implemented teaching and learning process improvements or initiatives over the past year that significantly increased effectiveness and efficiency in the classroom.
The Staff Customer Service Award is granted to a staff member who has contributed to the enhancement of quality customer service and satisfaction at The University.
The Limestone Staff Council was appointed to accept applications and nominations in each of the two categories.
