Employee Recognition
The Lone Pine 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 program aims to foster a deeper culture of appreciation across campus by recognizing the efforts of our colleagues; promoting collaboration and teamwork; acknowledging the value of diversity and inclusion; and honoring staff who excel at their jobs and exhibit behaviors that model the core values of the College.
The 2022 nomination period is now closed. The 2023 nomination period will open in November 2023.
Please join us to celebrate our 2022 award recipients at the Lone Pine Excellence Award Ceremony & Reception on May 9.
