Appreciation and Belonging Hour

sign_1232025

Each month the Office of Institutional Culture (OIC) welcomes employees to come and be a part of an hour of appreciation. The OIC will acknowledge an employee, department, or unit and provide refreshments to all in attendance. Come out and spend time with your colleagues and help cultivate a culture of connectedness at APSU.

During this time, the OIC will acknowledge four (4) employees within a department or unit through the OIC’s “Everyday Excellence Appreciation Award.” This award recognizes the good work our employees do every day in their positions at APSU. At the end of the academic year, OIC will have a drawing to give away one iPad from the pool of nominated employees.
