The University of
Nebraska Office Professionals Association (UNOPA) presents several
awards each year to outstanding employees. The Awards Committee
solicits nominations, enlists judges from the University community,
and presents the awards during
the Bosses' Luncheon in November, the February meeting, and the
Past Presidents and Retirees Recognition Program in April.
 |
This annual award
was established in 1988 to recognize a member who demonstrates
the attributes of UNOPA's founder and first president, Rose
Frolik. Rose is an enthusiastic, energetic person who challenges
life and feels that how you do your work may be a lot
more important than what you do. UNOPA members who
have been active for at least the past five years are eligible
for
nomination by another member. Recipients of this very special
honor are presented with a personalized plaque commemorating
their recognition, a year's membership to UNOPA, and a $600 cash
award.

Floyd S. Oldt Silver Pen Award
UNOPA
established this award in 1987 to honor University of Nebraska-Lincoln
office/service
employees who demonstrate superior performance on the job and
make
significant contributions to the University community. Since this
award was established in the year of UNOPA's Silver Anniversary
and the Pen is an instrument common to all UNL personnel, it
was
named the"Silver Pen Award." Any University employee
may nominate another eligible UNL employee. Recipients are presented
with a silver pen, a year's membership to UNOPA,
and $600.
