Award Description
The biennial "Augie" award, established in 2006, honors the memory of Augie Hartung, Associate Director of Facilities Services at California State University, San Bernardino from 2001 to 2006. The Augie award is in the shape of a popsicle because Augie was well known for giving out free popsicles on hot summer days, just to show that he cared and to see people smile.

It is in this spirit that the University continues his memory through this award and it is to be presented to a member of the campus community who most closely emulates the persona of Augie Hartung, as demonstrated by the qualities of being:
Affirming | Understanding | Giving | Inspiring | Exceptional
The award is open to all Faculty, Staff and Administrators. Please describe on the attached nomination form clearly and concisely why you consider the nominee for the award.
