Ithaca College

The deadline for submitting an IC Choice (Choosing to Honor Our Innovative, Committed Employees) Award nomination is fast approaching!

All supervisors, co-workers, members of the faculty, or students can submit nominations. Staff members who are nominated and selected to receive an award will receive $1,000. In the event a group of employees are nominated and selected, each member of the group will receive $250.

The nomination will need to show accomplishment in at least one of the following criteria categories:

1. Initiative – This criterion is used to recognize individual creativity in proposing new or improved work methods, ideas, projects or approaches that contributed positively to individual or department results.

2. Commitment – This criterion is intended to reward individuals who demonstrated commitment to their department and the College by regularly making a full and positive contribution for a number of years.

3. Support – This criterion recognizes individuals for giving their talents and efforts in support of others in an extraordinary way.

4. Accomplishment – This criterion recognizes individuals for creating and/or producing a substantive project or program for a department or the College.

To assist you in making a nomination, we have developed a web-based nomination form located at IC Choice Nomination Form. Please clearly articulate the circumstances or the accomplishments achieved by the individual or group that you are nominating. It is important to include specific examples that clearly identify and demonstrate that the nomination meets the criteria outlined above. If you are not comfortable submitting your nomination on-line, please submit your nomination in writing and address it as follows:
