Formal Awards

Although everyone contributes to the NMSU mission, there are individuals that have gone above and beyond to support the institution and the community. In order to recognize these extraordinary contributions, there are formal awards the campus community can choose from to nominate employees. Award recipients are selected by committees from a pool of nominations in the categories of faculty and exempt and non-exempt staff. 

Are you interested in setting up an award for your department, college, or divisions? The ARA program is a resource for all interested in developing their own programs to complement the system-wide awards.

Friends and family of the late Dr. Ralph B. Crouch have established an endowment providing for an award to honor a living, current or former employee of NMSU for outstanding contributions to the life of the university community. The recognition includes a cash award, and eligibility alternates annually between non-exempt staff and faculty/exempt staff. The award is given out during the spring semester.

Criteria : Nominees must be a current, or living, former employee of New Mexico State University. Depending on the award cycle, the selection will be limited to non-exempt staff or faculty and exempt staff.  

Consideration will be based solely on the person’s outstanding contribution(s). These contributions may include any activities WITHIN THE UNIVERSITY and can range from one event to a lifetime career. Outstanding contributions are considered those action(s) or activities  beyond  the normal day-to-day responsibilities of the person’s job. These activities can be, but are not limited to, committee work, participation in special university projects, sponsoring student groups, activities in professional organizations, etc.
