This year, two staff members will be selected to receive the award, which includes a $1,500 prize and a plaque presented by the Office of the Provost. Nominations are due by Oct. 11.
Johnson, a longtime staff member in the Office of the Provost, was dedicated to the U-M community and its mission. After her death in 2004, the Provost’s Office established this award to honor her contributions.
Johnson was known for her pursuit of excellence and her ability to inspire and support her colleagues.
