New ideas and better ways of working come from the people around us. Through Cardinal Spotting, People and Culture invites you to spotlight colleagues.

What is “Cardinal Spotting”? 
Cardinal Spotting is all about recognizing colleagues who bring our enduring values to life in their everyday work. If you’ve noticed a colleague going above and beyond, here’s your chance to recognize them.

This Month’s Focus: Innovation 
In August, we’re highlighting Innovation—our commitment to be creative, responsive, and progressive. Whether it’s finding new and better ways to solve problems, improving processes, sharing fresh ideas, or taking initiative to support others, we want to hear how your colleagues are bringing innovation to life.

How to Participate 
  • Pick a colleague who has lived this value. 
  • Write a short description of a specific professional contribution that reflects this value, sharing how your colleague demonstrated it in their work and the impact it had on others, a team, or the University.
  • Give as many shout-outs as you’d like! 

What Happens Next? 
"Cardinal Spottings" will be featured on our People and Culture LinkedIn and Facebook pages on August 31, showcasing the meaningful impact our community makes every day.

Submit your shout-outs to work@bsu.edu by August 26 and help us spotlight Innovation in action.
