Formal Employee Recognition Programs

Take time to appreciate employees and they will reciprocate in a thousand ways. Scroll down to see a list of LCC's formal recognition programs, along with ideas for informally recognizing your employees.


Classified Employee Awards

Each quarter an outstanding classified employee is selected to receive an award. At the end of the year, the four quarterly award winners become finalists for Classified Employee of the Year. The awards are presented each quarter, and the Employee of the Year award is presented at the Spring Reception.


Exempt Employee Awards

Each year an outstanding exempt employee is selected to receive an award. The award is presented at the Spring Reception.


Faculty of the Year Awards

Faculty of the Year awards are determined by the Associated Students of Lower Columbia College (ASLCC).
