Staff Awards
SEAS Staff Recognition Award
The SEAS Staff Recognition Award is given each year to recognize staff members who have performed
beyond assigned responsibilities, have earned the clear respect of co-workers, have inspired excellent performance from others, have served students and faculty devotedly, and have contributed in an extraordinary way to achieving the aspirations of the School.
This year's winner is Cheryl Hickey, Administrative Coordinator in the Department of Computer and Information Science.
A call for nominations earlier this year resulted in letters from faculty, staff and students across the School expressing their accolades for Cheryl, all with consistent themes, which spoke of her tireless devotion, unmatched work ethic and utmost willingness to help. One letter stated, "Cheryl is a multi-tasker, magical, unflappable, a force of nature, the go-to-person, tireless and energetic," while another stated, "Her commitment to the students, faculty, and staff of the CIS Department and SEAS is extraordinary. She goes beyond her position and is a real leader in the department.”
