Dr. Chris Cebra congratulates Juli West on her Exemplary Service Award.
The annual Staff Appreciation Luncheon was held on Tuesday, April 22, 2014. As unit heads, Drs. Bermudez, Heidel, de Morais, Cebra, and Tornquist spoke about the efforts of staff in their departments and presented length of service awards to staff members. Dr. Tornquist then presented the outstanding staff awards to this year’s winners.
Each year the College recognizes two classified employees who have demonstrated excellence in their job performance and exhibit a helpful and caring attitude to the people with whom they are in contact. Selections were made by inviting nominations of the faculty, professional faculty and staff, and the Honors, Awards and Scholarship Committee made the selections. The award winners this year were Matt McClain, analyst programmer in the IT department, and Sarah Smith, veterinary technician in the teaching hospital.
Two Exemplary Service Awards are also given to non-classified staff, which includes research assistants, research associates, and professional faculty. Letters of nomination were submitted to the awards committee for selection, which is based on excellence in job performance, as well exhibiting the kind of helpful, caring attitude that reflects well on our College and brings distinction to us as an institution. Recipients this year were Travis Feldsher, pathology lab coordinator in the Veterinary Diagnostic Lab, and Juli West, department administrator in the clinical sciences department.
