CofC Employees Recognized for Upholding 'The Cistern Standard'

College of Charleston faculty and staff sure do appreciate one another! And – by the looks of the hundreds of submissions recognizing CofC employees through the College’s new employee-driven program, The Cistern Standard – they’re happy to let their respect for each other be known!

Introduced at the beginning of the semester, the employee recognition program allows faculty and staff to use a simple Employee Recognition Form to acknowledge and spotlight their colleagues from across campus who embody the College’s core values – integrity; academic excellence; liberal arts education; diversity, equity and inclusion; student centeredness; innovation; and public mission – demonstrating them through their behavior and actions. Although the Office of Human Resources is responsible for the administration of the program, The Cistern Standard was developed in partnership with Subcommittee 5 of the Strategic Plan Pillar 3 (employee experience and success) Committee and the Staff Advisory Committee to the President (SAC).

And, by all accounts, it’s been a huge success!

“We are thrilled about the response to The Cistern Standard initiative,” says Ed Pope, vice president of human resources at the College. “It just goes to show how much our faculty and staff really do appreciate one another and want to show that appreciation.”

Congratulations to the nearly 275 faculty and staff members listed below (according to core value), who’ve been recognized so far! Keep on living up to The Cistern Standard!
