P.A.T. Awards

At IU Southeast, we want to acknowledge a job well done. Everyone appreciates it when their hard work garners notice, and a new recognition program for our employees does just that. The Point After Touchdown, or P.A.T.Award, is given to an employee at IUS who has performed at an outstanding level. It is an award reserved for someone who truly has made a difference.

Employees are primarily nominated for the P.A.T. by their supervisor. Any IUS employee may submit a nomination, subject to the support of the nominee’s supervisor. The P.A.T. Award program provides non-monetary recognition for valuable IUS employees.

Outstanding Performance Criteria:    Outstanding performance is defined as "above and beyond" commitment to customer service or efficiency.  The outstanding performance can have a short-term or long-term effect on departmental or university objectives.  The P.A.T. Award should be reserved for someone who truly has made a difference. 

Ask Yourself:   Was this employee's service above and beyond all expectations?  Has this employee made a difference in my office?  Does this employee's positive attitude have an impact on other employees?  How did this employee's effort contribute to a departmental objective and/or initiative in the IUS Strategic Plan?

Vice Chancellors submit approved forms to Human Resources to schedule an award ceremony. The ceremony consists of the Chancellor and reporting Vice Chancellor visiting the recipient to present the award and recognize the employee for their valued efforts. Human Resources will schedule the ceremony.
