Board of Regents
Awards for Excellence
The University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents sponsors several awards that honor the excellence of UW System staff and programs. Recipients are chosen by special committees composed of members of the Board of Regents, and are honored at various times throughout the year at a Board of Regents meeting.
Regents Academic Staff Excellence Awards
Each year since 1998, two $5,000 awards have been made to non-instructional administrative and professional academic staff members at UW System institutions in recognition of their exceptional service to the university.
Beginning in 2008, the program was expanded to make an additional $5,000 award to a non-instructional academic staff program in recognition of the important role played by academic staff in supporting students and their success.
