Okay, I have to be honest - I don’t know! Sorry to get your hopes up, but we are all going to have to wait until the Fifteenth Annual Staff Recognition Awards Ceremony on October 5^th to find out. In the meantime, our Staff Recognition Awards Display has been repopulated with a bunch of nameless silhouettes as a teaser to help build anticipation leading up to the big day.

I'll tell you what I do have, though - a sneak peek at the list of nominees! (There, have I redeemed myself?) Six recipients will be chosen from this list of AMAZING nominees. Take a look – chances are you will recognize at least one of the names in there…

Join RIT Staff Council as we congratulate the outstanding individual and team nominees and announce the 2011 Staff Recognition Award recipients on Wednesday, October 5, at 10 AM in Ingle Auditorium. Afterwards, we’ll all get together to celebrate with a reception in the Fireside Lounge.

Hope to see you there!
