Nominate Staff for the Nunnelley Award

The Staff Advisory Council invites the Samford community to recognize staff members through the Bill Nunnelley staff award selection process. Our ongoing efforts celebrate staff members who support the mission, strive for vocational success, serve with university and civic engagement, seek equality and justice, and show personal responsibility and stewardship throughout their daily activities. Selected nominees will be announced to the Samford community and will be automatically considered as a nominee for the annual Bill Nunnelley Award.

Nominees must meet all the following eligibility criteria:

  • Regular, full time staff
  • Employed in current position for at least one full year
  • Free from any disciplinary actions for the last five years
