After a three-year hiatus, UCLA Administration is once again accepting nominations for the Administration True Bruin Value Awards, thanks to a team of participants in the Leadership 20XX program opens a new window. This twice-annual awards program recognizes and celebrates individuals for exceptional service and contributions across our organization.
“The goal of this award is for our colleagues in Administration to nominate their peers who are creating exceptional Bruin experiences through their work,” said Robert Acha, the radiation safety officer in Environment, Health and Safety who served as team leader of a small group of dedicated individuals in the Leadership 2032 program to reimagine and reinstate this award. “Often, the tremendous efforts of the remarkable people within Administration are in the shadows or hidden and a lot of good work goes unnoticed by managers, supervisors and colleagues,” said Acha. “We want to ensure there is a way for leadership to show people across our entire division that they are seen and appreciated and that they add tremendous value to UCLA.”
Nominations for the next round of awards are open through April 18, 2025. Any UCLA Administration employee, including represented staff under collective bargain agreements, professional and support staff and management and senior professionals in good standing with at least one year of UCLA service is eligible.
Nominations must include information about the staff member and details about the exemplary performance achievements that meet the award’s robust criteria and have positively impacted team interactions, operations or productivity.
Award recipients will be invited to join Administrative Vice Chancellor Michael Beck at a special breakfast and awards ceremony and be recognized in UCLA Administration-approved media and at the annual Leadership Forum. They will also receive an award certificate, a True Bruin Values jacket and two free tickets to a UCLA event as a token of appreciation for their exemplary service.
