Winners of the Outstanding Administrative Service Awards were recently recognized at a luncheon in their honor. Tracy Bennett, SUNY Fredonia vice president for Administration, cited the five recipients of the awards for their outstanding performance.
The awards acknowledge exemplary performance as noted by students, faculty and staff in five areas: custodial services, professional trades, secretarial/clerical, Faculty Student Association non-management, and professional staff from the university or the Faculty Student Association.
“These awards,” explained Mr. Bennett, “recognize employees in the Administrative division who show an exemplary service attitude, creativity and resourcefulness in improving services, willingness to work as part of a team, and a positive attitude in dealing with students, faculty and other staff.”
