Administrative Staff Awards
The Administrative Staff Council (ASC) Awards and Recognition Committee honors exceptional administrative staff who go above and beyond to support BGSU. Through monthly and annual awards, we celebrate the contributions, creativity and commitment of staff members who strengthen our University community.
In addition, the committee organizes the annual Administrative Staff Awards Banquet, where nominees and winners are recognized in front of colleagues, friends and campus partners.
