Overview
Every day, we work together as a team to serve our students and perform countless acts that make this University thrive. Our busy schedules often leave little time to sit back and reflect on the work we appreciate from our colleagues. Every day, there are things to be grateful for in one another. We like to cultivate a culture of gratitude at Binghamton University. Feel free to use the following methods, in addition to your own, to recognize the contributions and accomplishments of your coworkers.
Bearcat Recognition
Gratitude Notes are great for those everyday things that we just want to use as a quick way to show our appreciation. For recognition of larger accomplishments and contributions, consider nominating a coworker for Bearcat Recognition. Simply fill out the form below, and Baxter will present them with a certificate of recognition at a recognition ceremony, thanking the individual(s) for their contributions to the Binghamton University community.

Award database
The Committee maintains a database of institutional, regional, and national awards. The committee encourages staff to submit any rewards received in the form below. Information can be accessed at any time. We would like to recognize all of your accomplishments on the Student Affairs Website and at our next divisional meeting
Gratitude notes and postcards
Gratitude postcards can be found in Student Affairs offices around campus. To participate, take one of the gratitude postcards, and write down the things for which you are grateful as you notice the fine work of your colleagues. Give the note to the person; leave it on their desk, in their mailbox or on their door. Tell your coworkers, in writing, that you appreciate what they do.
If you would like gratitude notes in your office or need a refill, email pnardone@binghamton.edu.
