    Held annually in February, Brown Employee Appreciation and Recognition (B.E.A.R.) Day is a community event for staff celebrating both years of service and performance excellence. President Paxson honors individual and team winners of the Excellence Awards, and Years of Service Awards recognize staff at five year intervals beginning with five years of service to the University.

    The Excellence Awards recognize staff members for their contributions in making Brown University a better place to work. Excellence Award winners are chosen by a selection committee representing the diverse Brown community and are announced in early December. Click here to review the Excellence Award Categories and FAQs about the selection process and bonus award.
