Two winners are from the AFSCME ranks: John Disbro, Physical Plant-Landscape Services; and Shelly L. Russell, Physical Plant-Building Custodial and Support Services. Seven winners are from the professional, administrative, clerical and technical employee groups: Annie R. Dobbs, Department of Chemistry; Deanna J. Hinkle, Development Office; Barbara T. McKinney, Department of Mathematics; Rosemary Nichols, Extended University Programs; Maureen Price, Office of the General Counsel; Cynthia L. Seedorff, Medieval Institute; and Richard H. Welch, Department of Physics.
Winners of the fall 2002 and winter 2003 semiannual awards are the candidates from whom four employees will be selected to win an annual Staff Service Excellence Award, with a $1,000 prize, in spring 2003.
