Nomination Deadline 5/1/2025

We at the UNT Libraries strive to acknowledge and express appreciation for our employees’ hard work and accomplishments. But as closely as we pay attention, we don't always catch every good deed or above-and-beyond action that takes place in our Libraries or virtually through our digital resources. Often it may be users who are the direct witness and beneficiary, or library staff  may notice a fellow employee perform some particularly noteworthy service. 

We want to reward our best and most helpful service employees with a $500 award, funded by an endowment created by George and Ruth Christy.  And we want the users to decide who is most deserving of such an esteemed reward.  If you have had or observed an exceptional service experience with one of our employees, and would like to nominate them for this award, please share your story with us, or encourage others to do so!  All Library faculty and staff are eligible for nomination. 

In considering nominations, we will take the following into account: 

1)      Was the person nominated multiple times during the past year?

2)      How significant was the experience described, and what did the employee do?

3)      Why does the nomination indicate that the employee is deserving of the Christy Award?
