STAR PERFORMANCE AWARDSClients of the Colorado State University
Veterinary Teaching Hospital might notice a growing number of our employees
wearing a gold star. The monthly STAR Performance Award began in 2003
as a way to recognize the outstanding commitment demonstrated by those
team members who consistently exceed expectations in the performance
of their duties. They are nominated by colleagues, supervisors, students
and clients. Many of our STAR Performers work their magic behind the
scenes, where most clients do not see them, but they are all an integral
part of our vision to provide the best care anywhere. If you would like
to nominate a VTH staff member for the STAR Performance Award please
contact Ms. Karin Miller at Karinm@colostate.edu.
