Outstanding classified staff recognized
The University Bookstore staff won
the 2003 Classified Staff Outstanding Team Award for
their effective functioning.
|
The University's classified staff members were recognized and
rewarded at the annual Classified Staff Council Spring Reception
on April 3.
Greeted by President Sidney Ribeau, who thanked the staff
for their many efforts on behalf of the University, and welcomed
by CSC Chair Barb Garay, those attending heard the winners
of the Classified Staff Team and Outstanding Service awards
as well as the announcement of scholarships given by CSC.
The University Bookstore staff was presented the 2003 team award.
The team was applauded for its Herculean efforts in moving the
bookstore from Saddlemire Student Services Building into the
Bowen-Thompson Student Union in less than a week and, in the
process, transforming it into a “premier college bookstore,”
as one nominator wrote. “A winning team that gets things
done” was how another nominator described the group. The
team will share a $1,000 cash prize and a plaque engraved in
their honor.
Candace Ducat, administrative secretary in the School
of Art, was given the Outstanding Service Award. Praised by
the North Central Association accreditation team as being critical
to the functioning of the school, Ducat was described by a nominator
as the “glue that holds the school together.” Another
wrote that she is the “absolute mold and model” for
the criteria for the award, which include dependability, innovation,
promoting harmony and assisting others.

Also at the reception, 14 scholarships valued at $250 each were
awarded. They included five to classified staff members, eight
to dependents of staff members and one to a spouse of a staff
member.
Concluding the ceremony, incoming CSC Chair Becky Paskvan
told classified staff members, “CSC is here for you. It’s
your sounding board, your listening ear and your direct channel
to the administration. We will face all challenges together
for 2003-04."
