Topflight Team Awards

The Student Services Topflight Team Award is designed to recognize a department, office, or team within the Student Services Division whose activities or accomplishments merit attention and emulation. Two awards will be bestowed each year, one for each semester. The selected group will also receive $150 towards their team's celebration. The department, office, or team selected by the Student Services Awards Committee will have its name permanently inscribed on the traveling Topflight Team trophy and display the trophy for one semester. Each staff member in the department, office, or team will be recognized at the Student Services Annual Recognition Reception.

University Housing & Dining Services

UHDS is an excellent staff to be a part of day in and day out. Currently, the staff is embracing the FISH philosophy. This is a widely known philosophy developed at Pikes Market in Seattle which encourages having fun in your job. In addition to regular food days in the hallway, UHDS hosts an annual tail-gate party during Homecoming. During the holiday season, staff members coordinate a voluntary event where staff secretly exchanges small gifts and come together at the week's end to guess gift-givers. UHDS has had two members on the Environmental Sustainability Committee. Through this committee, UHDS has taken a leading role in Western's first ever participation in the nation recycling competition - Recyclemania. UHDS has participated in the campus Master Planning sessions, sent a large delegation to the GLACUHO conference in Springfield, put on Safe Trick-or-Treat, helped to put on Big Pink Volleyball, and contributed co-sponsorship to bring speakers to campus. The list of UHDS accomplishments over the past year is never ending.
