In 2013, VCU established the President’s Awards for professional and administrative distinction. These awards honor VCU and VCU Health employees for their outstanding performance, achievement and service excellence. These awards are conveyed every year at the Service Recognition Celebration and reception.  This year’s Service Recognition Celebration will take place on Monday, April 25th at 3 pm. You can find more information on the event on the VCU HR Recognition and Reward website.
