Student Affairs and Academic Support

GEMS (Gamecocks Who Excel at Magnificent Service)

The GEMS recognition program makes it easy to celebrate employee achievements and say thank you to staff. The GEMS program recognizes specific actions and behaviors that support our division's values: collaborate, inclusion, innovation, integrity and service.

Eligibility

All employees in the Division of Student Affairs and Academic Support are eligible to receive a GEMS recognition — full-time, part-time, temporary, research grant/time-limited and graduate assistants.

Participation

There are two ways to participate:

  1. Recognize someone online using the form below. 
  2. Complete a physical GEMS notecard and send it to the employee you want to recognize, because a handwritten note is always nice. From there, the employee who received the GEMS notecard can register it online using the form below.

Gift Card Drawing

Once either an online GEMS form is completed or a physical GEMS notecard is registered online, both the issuer and recipient will be automatically entered to win a $25 electronic gift card for the month in which the GEMS form was submitted. If you receive a physical notecard, complete the form below to be entered to win. The gift card winners will receive individual notification by email. 

Thank you!
