Employee Recognition
The Lone Pine Staff Recognition Program provides a variety of ways in which we recognize staff for their outstanding contributions to Dartmouth: an awards program, personalized notes of appreciation, staff snapshot, and a summer social event.
This comprehensive staff recognition program aims to support a deeper culture of appreciation across our institution by recognizing the efforts of our colleagues; promoting collaboration and teamwork; acknowledging the value of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging; and honoring staff who excel at their jobs and model Dartmouth’s core values.
The 2023 nomination period is now open. Nominate a colleague by January 12, 2024.
