Laura Gerety was presented with the 2007 Northwestern University Evanston Campus Employee of the Year Award at the University’s Staff Service Recognition Luncheon on May 1, 2007 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Chicago. A staff member who goes above and beyond other employees in commitment and service to the University can be nominated for Employee of the Year. Every year one staff member from each campus is selected by a committee that reviews the nominations. Staff who have been at the University for at least three years and did not win in the previous year’s program are eligible. 

Allison Sillers won the McCormick Staff Team Appreciation and Recognition (STAR) Award at the Winter Quarter 2007 Staff Appreciation reception on Thursday, April 26, 2007. The McCormick STAR Leadership Award program provides a way to recognize individuals who provide exceptional support of the McCormick School's team effort to achieve Excellence at all Levels.  Specifically, the program is designed for co-workers or supervisors to nominate staff members for school-wide recognition by the dean for exceptional personal or team leadership efforts in each quarter (fall, winter and spring) of the academic year.  A selection committee composed of senior McCormick administrators (ineligible for selection) and staff representatives (ineligible for selection during their period of service) will consider nominations for each academic quarter from all departments and recommend a finalist to the dean for selection as the McCormick STAR Leader of the Quarter.  All McCormick-payrolled staff, full-time or part-time, exempt or non-exempt, are eligible for nomination. Winners are announced at the quarterly staff reception.
