UNM PROVOST’S OFFICE RECOGNIZES OUTSTANDING STAFF AND OUTSTANDING WORKGROUP

The University of New Mexico’s Provost’s Committee announced the 2004 Provost’s Outstanding Staff awards at a ceremony honoring the recipients today.

Outstanding individual staff awardees include: Sarah Dilmore, Economics; B. Sue Garley, Speech and Hearing Sciences; and Jerry Pilkinton, Physical Plant. In addition, the outstanding workgroup honored was the team at the UNM Art Museum including Tyler Anderson, Linda Bahm, Kelvin Beliele, Michael Certo, Kathleen Howe, Kathryn Guscott, Chris Jones, Ursula Mines, Sarah Otto-Diniz, Lee Savary, Shelley Simms, Laura Downey Staneff, Bonnie Verardo and Chip Ware.

“Through their dedication to service, their interactions with others, and their willingness to take initiative, they embody the highest standards and ideals of the University of New Mexico,” said Brian Foster, provost and vice president for Academic Affairs.

The PCSAD organizes and coordinates the annual Outstanding Staff awards program and recommends candidates to the provost, who then makes the final decision on the awardees.
Nominations and subsequent selections were based on extraordinary service including going beyond the duties listed in the job description in service to UNM and or the community; University values, including excellence, integrity and professionalism, diversity within academic community, creativity and initiative, academic freedom and student success; and substantial contribution to significant team or department accomplishment.

The PCSAD was organized and formed in 1989 to assist the provost in determining what activities would provide UNM staff with opportunities for growth, recognition and service.
