Dickey, Monda and Stipanovic Earn H&SS Outstanding Service Awards
"There is no doubt that H&SS staff members make vital contributions to the life of the college," said H&SS Dean John Lehoczky, master of ceremonies for the awards program. "You are at the intersection of so many of our important efforts-with our students, with our research and with our teaching."
Lehoczky said this year's award recipients all exhibited grace under pressure, the ability to solve problems, excellent professional skills and superb personal skills.
Colleagues who nominated Dickey said she does the work of two-and sometimes more-people with efficiency and friendliness. They said she epitomizes a "can do" attitude and that faculty, staff and students in English benefit from her grace under fire and her problem-solving abilities.
Monda has been the business manager for the Modern Languages Department for 17 years, and her responsibilities have grown as the department has grown. Working with Department Head Richard Tucker, she has developed and managed the budget, worked on grants and handled personnel forms.
Stipanovic, an administrative assistant in Social and Decision Sciences for the past 13 years, has been a member of the Carnegie Mellon staff since 1985. Her nominators described her as "amazingly versatile" and praised her for handling everything from organizing conferences to managing manuscripts.
Several faculty members claimed that because Stipanovic's organizational skills are so finely tuned, their skills have atrophied.
Bishop, senior user consultant for H&SS Computing, is the initial winner of the college's Newcomer Award, which recognizes tireless effort among new staff members.
Winners were selected by the staff awards committee. Members are John Clark (Statistics), Gail Dickey (History), Theresa Kurutz (Psychology), Andrea Lehman (H&SS Dean's Office), Vickie Makel (English), Roman Mitz (Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition), Stephen Pajewski (Social and Decision Sciences), Jan Puhl (Philosophy) and Etsuko Takahashi (Modern Languages).
