Regents Academic Staff Excellence Award

Two $5,000 awards are given to non-instructional administrative and professional academic staff members at UW System institutions in recognition of their exceptional service to the university. In 2008, the program was expanded to make an additional $5,000 award to a non-instructional academic staff program in recognition of the important role played by academic staff in supporting students and their success.
