What Are the BC Excellence Awards?
The Foundation Faculty & Staff Excellence Awards honor outstanding service by BC faculty and staff members. We believe these annual awards are exceedingly special because winners are selected from nominations received from the Bellevue College community – that is, fellow staff and faculty, as well as students. Along with recognition by and gratitude from the entire BC campus community, winners are awarded $2,500 each. One winner is selected from each of the following categories:
- Full-time faculty
- Part-time faculty
- Classified staff
- Exempt staff
Nominations for the 2024-25 Excellence Awards are now closed.
The deadline to submit a nomination was 11:59 PM on Tuesday, December 31, 2024. Recipients will be announced in April and formally recognized during the Year End Celebration in June.
Nominations may be submitted by students, faculty, staff, and trustees. Nominators may submit nominations for multiple individuals, and those who have been nominated in prior years can be nominated again as long as they have not previously been selected. A list of all prior recipients is available here.
And the 2023-24 Faculty & Staff Excellence Awards Go to…
