Employee Recognition
We believe that the dedication, commitment and passion of USA employees is worthy of high praise. Below is a high-level overview of recognition activities as we continue to build a comprehensive website which will launch next year.
USA Employees You Are South!
Christie Miree
These awards recognize the excellent service provided to students, alumni, and other constituencies by the employees of the University of South Alabama. To accomplish this goal, the Association recognizes selected University employees annually for their outstanding service and dedication.
Milestone Celebration
This dinner is for employees with at least 25 years of service. Invitations are extended to employees who are celebrating 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 years at USA. During this event, 25 year employees receive their medallion.
Employee Recognition Picnic
The All-Employee Picnic is a time for employees to enjoy games, picnic fare, music and one another. There is no program or agenda other than to say thank you to all of the hard work USA employees do daily.
