Each received a financial gift from the MTSU Foundation as well as an engraved glass award for their work excellence and commitment to making MTSU and its students successful.

MTSU employs more than 2,500 faculty and staff members campuswide. Its Employee Recognition Program celebrates non-teaching employees for supporting students, faculty and their other colleagues and making the university a more efficient, effective workplace.
