Pride of the Wolfpack Award

What is the Pride of the Wolfpack Award? It is an "on the spot" award designed to recognize NC State employees for a special or unique contribution to their college/unit or the University.

Who is Eligible? This program recognizes SPA and EPA employees at their respective college/unit level and the criteria for nominations, selection of recipients and delivery of awards will be handled by each college/unit. Temporary employees and student employees are not eligible.

How many awards are there? A specified number of awards are made available to each college/unit according to the number of employees within the college/unit. Each award is given to an individual employee, not a group or team. For all members of a group to receive an award, each should be nominated individually.

What will you win? The program provides recipients with an award certificate and a gift selection from the bookstore. If you would like to nominate an employee, please take the time to fill out the form below. After a department has selected an employee to receive a Pride of the Wolfpack Award, the college/unit coordinator will complete the notification form and submit the information to Pride of the Wolfpack Coordinator at 515-4282.

Award Criteria:
Each college/unit develops its own award criteria. Examples of criteria:

  • Leadership on the job
  • Customer focus
  • Business results
  • Quality of service
  • Cost effectiveness
  • Delivery of service to students, staff and/or alumni
