Catching You At Your Best
Encouraging and recognizing employees as they S.T.R.I.V.E. to create an atmosphere of belonging so that our diverse community can experience equitable opportunties to pursue success.
The Program
The Catching You at Your Best (CYAYB) program was created in 2010 as the Delta College employee recognition program. It began as a way for students, colleagues or community members to nominate an employee for going "above and beyond" in supporting/helping them while at Delta College. As the culture of the college shifted, the program was redesigned to meet the need to recognize behaviors that support belonging, equity and completion that may not go "above and beyond" the employee's job duties but are supporting the College's values.
Nominations
Employees may be nominated for creating an atmosphere of belonging by demonstrating the following values:
- Service: We respond to the needs of others.
