TULANE TALK

December 18, 2002

Good Morning:

Yesterday, I had the great pleasure of spending the morning with some of Tulane University’s best: the winners of this year’s Staff Excellence Awards. These ten outstanding employees were selected by their peers and supervisors for their extraordinary service to the university. This is the second year of the Staff Excellence Awards, a program that is an integral part of our strategic plan’s “People” section.

Each of this year’s winners received a $1000 check, a plaque recognizing their achievement and an invitation to a special dinner in their honor hosted by Marjorie and me.

It was truly an honor to meet some of the many great employees who help Tulane continue to attain new levels of excellence. The work they, as well as their colleagues, do every day on our behalf is what makes this university so special.

This year’s winners represent a cross section of Tulane at its best. Visit http://www2.tulane.edu/excellence_awards.cfm to learn their names and a little bit about each of this year’s winners. Congratulations to them all!
