Staff of the Year Awards
Staff of the Year Award
The Faculty/Staff Member of the Year Award, sponsored by the Student Government of Loyola Chicago (SGLC) and the Maroon & Gold Society, recognizes the extraordinary contributions and quality service of a faculty or staff member in his/her role in fulfilling the mission of Loyola University Chicago, particularly by improving the life of the Loyola student body. This award is the only award given solely by the Loyola student population to a faculty or staff member. It seeks to honor those individuals who have supported and guided students in their personal and leadership development during the past academic year. After 2017, the decision was made to discontinue presenting this award at the Excellence Awards Ceremony in order to focus more intentionally on the recognition of current students.
