Arvind From: Engfaculty-list [mailto:engfaculty-list-bounces@ecn.purdue.edu] On Behalf Of Kokini, Klod Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2014 10:01 AM To: engfaculty-list@ecn.purdue.edu; engcs-list@ecn.purdue.edu; engap-list@ecn.purdue.edu Cc: Jamieson, Leah H. Subject: 2014 College of Engineering Staff Awards of Excellence Importance: High Dear Colleagues, At the recommendation of the Staff Awards Committee last year, and with enthusiastic endorsement from Dean Jamieson and myself, I am pleased to inform you of a new recognition process for our CoE Staff Awards. Rather than naming the recipient in each award category now, we are announcing the 3 finalists. The actual award recipient will be announced at the Staff Awards Banquet on November 7. Only the Team Award will remain the same so that we will recognize one team among all nominations. This change allows us to recognize more of the outstanding and deserving staff members who are nominated each year and to add some element of surprise to the actual awards banquet. It gives me great pleasure to announce the following inaugural slate of finalists for the 2014 CoE Staff Awards of Excellence: Administrative Professional Customer Service * Robert D. McGuire/ME * Angela S. Rainwater/ECE * Tammi L. Thayer/EEE Clerical Service Customer Service * Carrie R. Clark/EPE * Cathy L. Elwell/ME * Susan M. Gauger/ABE Leadership * Leza R. Dellinger/IE * Vickie J. Maris/EPE * Scott E. Meyer/ME New Employee * Susan D. Hardy/BME * Gabriela Nagy/ChE * Mihal Sinani/ECE Professional Achievement * Robert J. Brown/ME * Carla B. Zoltowski/EPICS * Yury Zvinevich/ChE And congratulations to the 2014 Team Award Recipient, the Chemical Engineering Unit Operations Laboratory Upgrade Team! * David S. Corti * Cristina D. Farmus * Enrico Martinez-Saenz * Rick L. McGlothlin * John A. Morgan * Jeffrey L. Valley * Yury Zvinevich Please join me in congratulating our colleagues for their achievements and plan to join us on November 7, 2014, at 6:30 p.m. in the Shively Club at Ross-Ade Pavilion. I also would like to give special thanks and recognition to all the nominators and nominees, and to the CoE Staff Awards Committee for their creative suggestions and hard work during the selection process. With warm regards, Klod _____________________________ Klod Kokini Associate Dean for Academic Affairs College of Engineering Professor of Mechanical Engineering 765/494-5349
