30 October 2002 | Sixty staff members who went above and beyond the call of duty to improve life on campus were honored with Chancellor’s Outstanding Staff Awards on Monday, Oct. 28 at an afternoon celebration in Alumni House.

Chancellor Berdahl, Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Paul Gray, and Vice Chancellor – Business and Administrative Services Horace Mitchell presided over the event, reading excerpts from each winner’s nomination letter, then presenting the honorees with a wooden bear sculpture and a framed certificate. Recipients also had their photos taken with the chancellor.

“The work of these staffers is so inspiring,” said Berdahl. “Their creative and innovative contributions exemplify the best of what this university is.”

“This is a wonderful occasion to pause and reflect on the excellence of not just the winners but of all our staff,” said Gray. “We owe the success of Berkeley to them.”

Selection of outstanding staff is based on their contributions to student services, customer relations, operational effectiveness, community service, or mentoring. Awards are given to those who serve as role models in the workplace, contribute to the campus and community at large, and consistently perform their job at an outstanding level.

Winners were culled from 97 individual and 31 team nominations, submitted by supervisors, co-workers, students, and outside agencies.
