Texas Parents established the Staff Merit Award in 1998 to recognize Division of Student Affairs staff members who demonstrate commitment to the welfare of UT Austin students through actions that positively and constructively address student issues and concerns. UT Austin staff, students and faculty may nominate an employee from a department in the Division. Three recipients will be recognized and each will receive a plaque and a $1,500 award.
