May 18, 2011 — The winners of Leonard W. Sandridge Outstanding Contribution Awards and employees with 10, 15 and 20 years of service at the University of Virginia will be recognized today at the Service Awards Day reception in the John Paul Jones Arena.
Employees with 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 years of service will be honored June 7 at a banquet at the Boar's Head Inn.
Each year, U.Va. Human Resources appoints a committee to choose five outstanding employees from the Academic Division, and a Health System committee chooses five in the Medical Center, from a larger group of nominees. In addition, U.Va.'s College at Wise chooses a winner from its staff.
Last year, Human Resources renamed its annual Outstanding Contribution Awards in honor of Leonard W. Sandridge, U.Va.'s executive vice president and chief operating officer, who will retire at the end of this academic year. The new name for the awards – the highest honors for staff at the University – recognizes Sandridge's years of dedicated service to the University and his role as an avid champion of U.Va.'s staff.
The Sandridge Outstanding Contribution Award recipients are invited to a luncheon with the Board of Visitors in June, where each will receive a $1,000 check and an engraved gift.
