Employee Recognition
Mount Royal University recognizes that talented and committed employees are the driving force behind student success. Across the University, employees contribute in many ways that help ensure an exceptional undergraduate experience for our students.
February 4th, 2019 Update:
The employee recognition program has been put on hold for one year to focus on rebuilding a program that is meaningful to employees and sustainable for the University. The Distinguished Faculty Awards, which fall under the Office of the Provost, are going ahead because they are tied into national opportunities.
The decision to review the program is based on a genuine desire to improve it. We appreciate everyone's patience while we undergo this important review. Updates will be shared with the campus community, and we look forward to being able to announce a new and more meaningful recognition program for Mount Royal later this year.
Open the Employee Awards 2018 program.
