The President’s Award of Excellence Committee and President Burstein are pleased to announce the 2016 President’s Award of Excellence. We had a lot of great nominations again this year, and it was a hard decision. The awards are based on the following criteria: support, stewardship, innovation and teamwork. The winners this year excel in all areas. Please congratulate Cynthia Patterson from Mudd Library and Larry Darling from the Conservatory of Music!
Cindy is responsible for the circulation desk at the library. Cindy showcases all of the criteria for the award. She demonstrates support by going above and beyond. Her nomination reads, “Cindy will do anything she can to ensure students, faculty and staff can find the materials they need in the library.” She demonstrates a high level of care for university resources and drives innovation and leadership in the workplace through creative ideas that impact the university and community. “All of Cindy’s student employees love her, as do her colleagues,” her nomination adds. “She is meticulous in training her students. Several of her students have gone on to be librarians, and every year her students hold a ‘Cindy Appreciation Day.'” Congrats, Cindy, on this achievement!
Larry is responsible for recording every concert and event at Lawrence. Larry exemplifies all of the criteria listed for the award. Larry supports the university by doing all it takes to get the job done. According to Larry’s nomination, “He is here at the crack of dawn or into the wee hours of the night. He goes above and beyond to provide exceptional service no matter how challenging or inconvenient the situation.” Larry is an excellent steward of the university resources. “He is responsible for maintaining recording and video equipment worth hundreds of thousands of dollars,” his nomination continues. “Larry finds ways to prevent major expensive repairs through attentive care and vigilance.” Everyone enjoys working with Larry, and he does his job very well. Congratulations on this achievement, Larry!
Please take a minute to congratulate Cindy and Larry. The awards will be presented Feb. 9 at the Service Award Luncheon, and the winners will also be recognized during the next all-staff meetings. A big thank you to everyone who nominated a colleague. We appreciate the considerable effort that went into each nomination and look forward to reviewing the nominations again next year. Thank you!
