Strong partnerships and collaboration make our work possible.

Every day, colleagues go above and beyond to support students, teams, and one another — and it’s important that we take time to recognize those efforts. The NSTP Campus Partner of the Month Recognition is a way we live out our shared values of intentionality and collaboration. By pausing to celebrate others' contributions, we strengthen our community, build connections, and reinforce a culture of appreciation and partnership.

Current recipients

We are proud to recognize colleagues who demonstrate our shared values of intentionality and collaboration through their partnership and impact across NSTP.

How It Works

How It Works

During the last staff meeting each month, we take a few minutes to:

  • Share submitted nominations for a colleague who has made a meaningful impact
  • Vote together on who to recognize as the Campus Partner of the Month
  • Celebrate by sharing ways we partner with the person or appreciate the work they do

After the meeting, we turn the shared reflections into a letter of recognition and email it to the staff member and their supervisor, ensuring their impact is acknowledged and celebrated.

Why This Matters

Recognizing colleagues helps create a culture where people feel valued, seen, and supported. This process is one way we intentionally practice collaboration — not just in our daily work, but in how we honor and uplift each other.
