Staff Awards
Several staff members were recognized this past year for their hard work. Those receiving awards include Robert Brechwald, Joseph Loria, Cheryl Reardon, Marcia Rogers, and Dale Stille.
Robert Brechwald, Systems Support Manager, received a Longevity Award from the UI Staff Council for 35 years of continuous service to the University. His award included a certificate and letter of appreciation from the President's Office.
Joseph Loria, Account Clerk, received a $100 award for his suggestion to the Unique Ideas (UI) Save Money and Reward Thriftiness (SMART) program. The SMART program asks University staff and faculty for moneysaving ideas, and awards them $100 if their idea is chosen. Joe's idea was for General Stores to send monthly cylinder rental statements in one envelope to each department, and to provide a file download of the statements that could be printed at the department's choosing.
Cheryl Reardon, Administrative Associate, received the College
of Liberal Arts Mary Louise Kelley Staff Excellence Award and the Board
of Regents Staff Excellence Award. Cheryl was recognized for improving
staff morale and work ethic, for initiatives she developed which benefited
the faculty and staff, such as the Department's external advisory board,
and for initiating the College of Liberal Arts annual staff recognition
reception.
