<p class="MsoNormal">Folks – They are extending the deadline for nominations for the Arts and Sciences Outstanding Staff Awards until this Friday (March 29).  That probably means that if you send in a nomination, your nominee has a good chance of receiving
 the award.  This award is independent of the University and Department Distinguished Staff Awards.

<p class="MsoNormal">Sorry it is so long.  They are asking for two letters of support as well.  I can’t confirm, but I believe that the recipients get a cash award and an increase in their annual rate.  It is worth it to take the time to acknowledge our wonderful
