CSM Recognizes Staff, Faculty for Service, Innovation
The College of Southern Maryland recognized 18 employees who have made significant contributions to the college’s success during the past six months. At a reception March 25 at the La Plata Campus, employees were recognized for their accomplishments and actions in response to the college’s five principles of creativity, knowledge, integrity, partnership and respect.
Part of the college's Employee Recognition and Awards Program, the reception gives staff and faculty the opportunity to recognize their co-workers' excellence. There are seven categories for the awards including Customer Service, College/Community Service, Leadership, Extra Mile, President's, Professional Goal Attainment and Innovative Teaching. The awards are open to individuals, groups and teams.
The Customer Service Award recognizes employees who have provided quality service and have ensured customer satisfaction. A team award was presented to Doug Kuykendall, Sherrise De Baugh and Tina Edmondson-Berry for their efforts in assisting an ill student at the Leonardtown Campus.
The Extra Mile Award recognizes employees who have made significant contributions over an extended period of time. A team award was presented to Joan Shelley, Marge Coppola, Lindy Galbraith, Mike Baione, Perry Taylor, Butch Howard, John Wilson, Damanjit Singh, Don Posey, Craig Schmitt, Jim Rhodes, Thomas Smoot, Albert Ricciardi, Francis Spriggs, Charlene Brown, Andrea Chisley, Michele Hawkins, John Yates, Jacqueline Johnson and Thomas Dorsey for their efforts to set up the college’s first Maryland FIRST Tech Challenge Tournament, being held the next day, despite the college being closed for inclement weather.
The College/Community Service Award recognizes substantial college and/or job-related volunteer services within the college or community. An individual award was awarded to Natalie Neill for her efforts in organizing the Clothesline project, which had CSM students designing and hanging color-coded T-shirts denoting acts of violence in which the victim’s gender, race or sexual orientation played a role; and for her organization and production of Eve Ensler’s play “The Vagina monologues,” which raised over a $1000 for the Calvert Crisis Center.
The President's Award is given to employees responsible for a project or a major accomplishment that supports the college's strategic plan or promotes the college's initiatives and goals. An individual award was given to Jeff Tjiputra for his efforts in organizing two robotics competitions this year.
The college’s Innovator, Professional Goal Attainment, Innovative Teaching and Leadership Awards were not presented this period.
