Service Award Certificates, Pins, and Framing

Service Award Certificates

Service award certificates are prepared for all recipients by Human Resources and will be mailed in a UT Austin branded padded portfolio along with award pins by the end of June to the recipient's home address listed in Workday. Please make sure your home address is accurate in Workday. Some departments have chosen to frame certificates and in that case your certificate and pin will be presented to you by your department.

Award Pins

The President’s Staff Award lapel pin is the University’s expression of gratitude to its longstanding employees for their years of service and commitment. The gold setting symbolizes the staff member’s value to the University. The UT symbol represents quality and innovation, while precious stones signify a lasting relationship. Pins will be mailed to Service Award recipients along with their certificates in June. Some departments have chosen to frame certificates and in that case your certificate and pin will be presented to you by your department.

Certificate Framing

A framed certificate is an additional way for a department to recognize an employee receiving a Staff Service Award.

If your department would like to have certificates framed, please contact Staff Awards by February 21, 2024 to have your department's certificates and pins sent to your department contact instead of being mailed to the recipient's home address in Workday. Once you receive the certificates, please send to Construction Services for framing.

Departments may request certificates be framed by Construction Services. Departments interested in this service may submit a CRIB request via WORQS. Once the request has been entered, departments will deliver the certificates to be framed to the Construction Services office at FC1, 1.120. Please allow three weeks for framing. The cost to frame certificates is $80.00.

Departments are encouraged to take advantage of this service; Construction Services does an excellent job of framing certificates.
