Classified Employee of the Year

The Classified Senate of Berkeley City College recognizes that there are individuals who exemplify what being a Classified Professional represents.  These individuals excel in areas such as customer service, leadership, teamwork, and participates in college-wide activities and more.   The Senate recognizes one classified professional per year with this award and it is the hope of the Senate that these individuals will be role models for their peers and co-workers for years to come.

 

In 1980, former PCCD Trustee Constance L. Ormond established a trust fund to honor classified employees in the District who have provided exemplary service.  To be eligible for nomination, a person must be a classified employee working/assigned at BCC (All full-time, part-time, and hourly classified staff members are included).  All nominations must be made by another classified employee at BCC.

  • Spirit of cooperation; works well with staff
  • Work ethic (reliable, conscientious, diligent)
  • High quality work
  • Leadership ability
  • Actively supports and participates in college-wide activities
  • Sense of humor

 

The Classified Senate nominations occur every March and the winner is announced in April/May.  The award shall be given to the winner at the Classified Staff Appreciation luncheon that occurs every spring semester in April/May.  The Award consists of a $100 check (to be determined by the Peralta Colleges Foundations, based on available trust funds) and a framed certificate presented to the recipient.
