Several staff employees at the University of Minnesota, Morris have been recognized for their job performance and contributions to the campus.
Roger Wareham, assistant director of grants development, has been selected to receive this year’s Morris Academic Staff Award. Wareham's job performance, professionalism and expertise, along with his service on several campus committees, contributed toward his nomination for the award. Recipients of this award are selected on the basis of their job performance and service to the campus community.
Chuck Grussing, Campus Police Julie Hesse, Food Service and Jacki Anderson, Continuing Education, are recipients of the Outstanding Service Award. The award is based on job performance and competence, a cooperative spirit and helping attitude and innovative ideas.
Brenda Boever, advising, is the staff recipient of the Mary Martelle Memorial Award. The award is also presented annually to a student. Both Dave Nelson and Nick Petersen are the student recipients of the Martelle Award this year. This award serves as a continuing tribute to those personal qualities and many and varied contributions made by Mary Martelle, a senior secretary in the Office of Student Activities from 1965 until her death in 1976.
Staff nominees for this award should be members of the United Staff Association (USA) who have found a way to reach beyond their particular duties and responsibilities to make contributions to the campus community as a whole. While it is important that they exemplify in their daily work a commitment to the University, the primary purpose of the Mary Martelle Award is to recognize contributions above and beyond assigned job duties.
The award is presented to a student in recognition of her/his extracurricular activities through which he/she found a way to enrich the campus community. Qualities to consider are initiative, creativity, responsibility, cooperation, leadership and concern for others.
Award recipients will be recognized during the April 27 Faculty and Staff Recognition Dinner, along with Pareena Lawrence (Horace T. Morse Award), Janet Schrunk Ericksen (Alumni Association Teaching Award), Eric Klinger, Sam Schuman and Peter Orr (retirees).
