Photographer snaps up ASC Spirit of BG Award

David Hampshire, the photographer for Instructional Media Services, was presented the Administrative Staff Council Spirit of BG Award on May 26.

Hampshire works with faculty, staff and students to document artwork and reproduce photographic images from the latest digital techniques to historic glass plate negatives.

“What transcends Mr. Hampshire’s technical expertise, however, is his genuine respect and concern for others,” a nominator wrote. “'Students First’ is a Dave Hampshire philosophy that we can all remind ourselves of from time to time.”

Concern for others shows Myers’ ‘Spirit of BG’

Donovan Myers, facilities services, was the April recipient of the Classified Staff Spirit of BG Award.

Myers regularly goes beyond his duties as a maintenance repairman to make the custodial staff’s job easier, and is always cheerful and professional, wrote his nominators. In one instance, he stayed late one night to clean up an area in the library after he had performed a plumbing repair job, instead of leaving it for the custodial crew in the morning as he could have.

One of his nominators wrote, “In the 25 years that I’ve worked at BGSU, no one has more personified the ‘Spirit of BG’ than Donovan.”

Myers received a check for $75 as part of the award.
