Employee Recognition Awards
The Vivian Cunniffe Award has been presented annually since 1986. Vivian Cunniffe, for whom the award is named, participated in University life in many ways. She began working here as a high school student in the clerical temp pool. She completed both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees here at °ÄÃÅһФһÂëÒ»±ØÖÐһФ. And if that weren’t enough, Vivian even met her husband, Ed Cunniffe here on campus. She was a long time employee of the Financial Aid Office, where she excelled as a counselor. While vacationing in Spain in 1985, Vivian died tragically in an automobile accident. The Cunniffes were visiting with a family whose children the Cunniffes had hosted as exchange students.
Nominations are invited for outstanding staff employees whose efforts go beyond that which is necessary to accomplish their particular job. Any employee of the University may make a nomination. All non-management staff personnel with a minimum of 5 years of service at °ÄÃÅһФһÂëÒ»±ØÖÐһФ, including Foundation and Associated Students, Inc. staff, are eligible for the Award. Petitions are not considered an appropriate form for a nomination. The specific criteria are:
- Professional attitude
- Willingness to assume responsibility
- Demonstrated commitment to campus life
- Pride in a job well done
The above are considered to be exemplified by dedication to the principle that the goals of the University are primary. The actions and interactions of the candidate with both students and fellow employees should reflect this principle, thereby making the campus environment a special place in which to work and to be educated.
All of the nominees are presented and the winner is named during the Annual Staff Recognition Awards Reception. The selected nominee receives free parking for one year, a crystal gift and their name inscribed on a perpetual plaque that is displayed in the Student Services and Administration (SA) lobby.

This program is designed to recognize and express appreciation to employees for each five (5) years of service to °ÄÃÅһФһÂëÒ»±ØÖÐһФ, East Bay beginning with the fifth year.
The service award is available to all administrators and support staff who are regular full-time and regular part-time employees of °ÄÃÅһФһÂëÒ»±ØÖÐһФ who complete the required length of service to the University. Faculty members are not included in this program.
The Office of Human Resources determines total service credit for eligible employees. It is not necessary that service be continuous to receive credit, but if an employee has a break in service of 10 years or greater, their service prior to the leave/separation will not count towards a service award. Prior °ÄÃÅһФһÂëÒ»±ØÖÐһФ service is verified by the Office of Human Resources. Regular part-time service receives credit on an equal basis with full-time service and is not to be prorated. The employee must be in a probationary/permanent status or in a temporary to permanent status. Any period of paid leave status is included in the calculation of service credit. Periods in which the employee is in an unpaid leave of absence status are not included and intermittent employment time is not included.
The President presents the awards to recipients during the Annual Staff Recognition Awards Reception.
