This Friday, Oct. 1, is the last day to nominate deserving colleagues for the 2021 Safety, Health, and Security Awards.
Bestowed by the Office of the President, these awards honor those who have taken extraordinary steps to see the WSU community safely through the past year’s challenges—including the COVID-19 pandemic.
The WSU Safety Awards Committee encourages faculty, staff, and students to nominate individuals and groups for the awards.
Nomination guidelines
To nominate a candidate, visit the Safety, Health, and Security Fair website and complete the nomination form. There you will find selection criteria for each of three award categories: safety, health, and security.
Presentation of awards
President Schulz will present the awards on Tues., Oct. 19 at the annual Safety, Health and Security Fair. The ceremony will start at 11:30 a.m. in the Compton Union Building Senior Ballroom.
