Staff Awards

Each year, the college recognizes its outstanding staff with five awards representing three categories, the Hattie B. Wagener Award, the CECAS Award for Staff Excellence, and the Dean's Exceptional Staff Awards.


Hattie B. Wagener

The Hattie B. Wagener Award, the most prestigious staff award, was established in memory of Hattie Boone Wagener, a trailblazer in the College of Engineering and Science where she served as the first female administrative staff member for twenty-five years. Hattie’s three sons--Earl, Ben, and Ken—created this endowment in tribute to their mother to recognize the dedicated service of exemplary administrative staff. The winner of this award is selected by a committee of the Dean, a faculty member, a staff member from another college, and a member of the Clemson City Council.

Staff Excellence

This award is presented to a classified staff employee in recognition of exemplary contributions to the college, its vision, and its mission. The winner of this award is selected by a committee comprised of the Dean, the Associate Dean, the Chief of Staff, a Department Chair, and the Chair of the Staff Awards Committee from the College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences.

Dean's Exceptional Staff

The Dean's Exceptional Staff Awards are given to three CECAS staff members, two administrative and one technical, who demonstrate outstanding dedication and commitment to the college and their work unit and consistently go above and beyond their normal job duties. The winners of this award are selected by a voluntary committee of fellow staff members from the college.
