by Office of Publication & Information
The Institute gave citations and cash awards to 12 personnel from the Administrative & Non-Teaching staff and 27 faculty members as the 2016 Outstanding Employees of MSU-IIT during the Christmas Party held at the Gymnasium on December 21, 2016.
The PRAISE awards were to recognize the achievements of MSU-IIT employees based on a Civil Service requirement and to correct an omission in giving out the awards for about 10 years, according to Chair of the PRAISE Awards and Vice Chancellor for Administration & Finance (VCAF) Dr. David N. Almarez in a brief phone interview with OPI.
Almarez acknowledged “some errors” in the implementation of the PRAISE awards but, he said, “it is a good start and later we can institute reforms to this”.
Ms. Cynthia Sagario of the Human Resource Management Division (HRMD) told OPI that the PRAISE awards were approved for implementation by the MSUS Board of Regents on July 29, 2016.
