Staff Senate is proud to offer the following programs and events to enhance the quality of life for our employees and their families.
Distinguished Performance & Service Recognition Awards
The Distinguished Performance Awards program was initiated in 1994 to recognize outstanding job performance and long-time service by the university’s non-faculty employees, both classified and non-classified.
Education Stipend Program
Staff Senate awards education stipends annually to non-faculty employees and their spouses or dependents to help offset the cost of tuition and fees for undergraduate and graduate courses taken or transcripted at ASU-Jonesboro.
Funding for these awards is made possible by the proceeds from the silent auction held at the Staff Senate Employee Picnic.
