Staff Awards Luncheon

Save the Date! The 54rd Annual Staff Awards Luncheon will be held May 22, 2025. 

The Staff Awards Luncheon honors Chico State staff with an annual ceremony held in May the week after commencement. The luncheon honors over 100 university employees who have achieved years of service in increments of 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40 years of service, as well as those who have recently retired. The winners of the Outstanding Staff Employee of the Year, Wildcat Spirit Award, Safety Award, Customer Service Award, Making a Difference Award, Emerging Leader Award, and Outstanding MPP are announced at the ceremony, where the recipients are honored for their contributions to our campus and community. 

These awards are made possible through funding from the VP of Business and Finance and the University Foundation Board of Governors, and we thank them for acknowledging the outstanding staff at Chico State.
