Employee of the Year
The Classified Employee of the Year is a prestigious award that recognizes classified employees who consistently serve the University of South Carolina Upstate with dedication, integrity, and professionalism. The employee must have been working at USC Upstate for three years as of January 1st of that nomination year. Each year after nominations are received, a committee of an Administration member, Faculty member, Staff Senate members, and SGA select the award recipients. These people are recognized during the May Day Picnic each spring semester. All nominees are recognized at the picnic and are given a certificate. The awards started in 2001. Beginning in 2014, two awards are presented: The Helen C. “Muffet” Sansbury Administrative Staff Employee of the Year and The Helen C. “Muffet” Sansbury Facilities Staff Employee of the Year. Each winner will receive a $1,000 check from the USC Upstate Foundation and their names are placed on a plaque that is located in the Administration Building.
