The Employee Recognition Team is pleased to celebrate seven years of FP&M Employee Recognition! This initiative began as a result of feedback from past employee engagement, inclusion, and diversity surveys, resulting in an employee-led work group that helps drive our division’s culture of recognition.

Awards are just the beginning

This year, the Recognition Team received 86 award nominations. The event will recognize all of the individuals and teams who were nominated, and the everyday contributions that FP&M employees make to our campus.

Five annual Awards recognize employees for their outstanding contributions over time.
