Last week we celebrated the work and dedication of the College of the Liberal Arts staff at the CLA 2010 Staff Awards Reception. A few Liberal Arts Undergraduate Studies staff members were recognized in particular for their various achievements.
Karen Sones, CLJ and SOC Lead Adviser was presented with the Liberal Arts Staff Employee Recognition (LASER) Award. The LASER Award is the highest award a staff member in the College of the Liberal Arts can receive. See our original blog post about Karen’s award for more details.
Next, Tracey Melnick, ENGL Lead Adviser was recognized for her thirty years of service to the College of the Liberal Arts.
Lastly, several LAUS employees were presented with Staff Enrichment Awards in recognition of their continuing education. Heidi Shoemaker, daughter of LAUS staff member Holly Dickey, was awarded the Children of Staff Scholarship Award. Heidi is currently a freshman Nursing major at Penn State Altoona. Jillian Balay of LAUS received a Staff Scholarship Award to support her as she works towards her MA in Art History at University Park.
Congratulations again to all of our LAUS staff. We appreciate everything you do!
