Release Time for UW Staff Recognition Day Tuesday

University of Wyoming President Dick McGinity has granted up to two hours of release time to attend Staff Recognition Day Tuesday, April 5, from 10 a.m.-noon in the Marian H. Rochelle Gateway Center. Free parking is available, and the campus commuter will run directly to the Gateway Center.

The scheduling of release time should be a collaborative discussion between employee and supervisor to ensure the effective and efficient operation of the unit.

The annual event will feature refreshments, door prizes, entertainment, a raffle for three prizes and a 50-50 drawing as well as years of service recognition and staff awards. The announcement of the 2015 Employee of the Year, who is selected from among four quarterly winners, will be among the event’s highlights.

Additionally, more than $18,000 in cash and prizes will be awarded to outstanding staff members.
