As part of the 2021-2026 LFS Action Plan, the Faculty is committed to attracting and retaining outstanding faculty and staff and aim to be a destination of choice for our exceptional learning and work environment.
In support of this, we promote opportunities and programs that recognize and reward staff and faculty and develop a culture of celebration. Visit the Recognize Your Colleagues page to find out more about the Random Acts of Recognition program. See below for the Bright Ideas Program.

LFS Bright Ideas Program
Send us your Bright Ideas!
Have an idea that you think will make the Faculty stronger or better? Send it to Bright Ideas, our ideas program!
Here’s how it works:
LFS faculty, staff and students are invited to submit worthwhile ideas that will potentially save energy or resources, improve service to students, increase safety or improve the quality of work life. If your idea is implemented, you’ll be rewarded with a $50 visa gift card and be recognized in a whole bunch of ways. All submitted ideas will be entered into a quarterly draw for an LFS swag bag and a special Bright Ideas breakfast with the Dean.
The rules:
Ideas must be submitted via our online form and must identify a specific problem or deficiency along with a solution. Merely submitting a problem without presenting a concrete solution does not qualify as an eligible suggestion. For faculty and staff: suggestions cannot be directly related to your job duties.
*Only approved ideas will be contacted. Watch for an announcement about Bright Ideas recipients in LFS Today.
