The Distinguished Service Award (DSA) is among the institution’s most prestigious honors, recognizing full-time Central employees who have demonstrated outstanding service to the university. Nominations are put forward by faculty, staff, students, and colleagues from other academic institutions. To be considered, a candidate must have delivered exceptional service to the university over an extended period. Each year, the DSA Committee reviews nominations and recommends candidates to the University President for final selection. The award can be won by an individual only once.
