(NEW ALBANY, Ind.)—The Office of Human Resources has honored the contributions of faculty and staff over the past year.
This year’s honorees comprise a group of colleagues ranging in age from 34 to 71 who have devoted a total of 890 years of service to the university in administrative, teaching, maintenance, advising and other roles.
Adjunct faculty are also included.
“While this has indeed been a difficult year given COVID and the subsequent distancing of our personnel, I am nevertheless so very impressed by the quality of the service our IU Southeast family was able to perform.,” said Chancellor Ray Wallace. “We are truly fortunate to have professionals of this caliber who have not lost sight of the importance of service for the ongoing development of our campus.”
The recognition reflects an energetic and eclectic community with a shared dedication to building IU Southeast into a pre-eminent institution over time through a devotion to the core values of creating a nurturing environment, holistic learning, integrity and connectedness.
One staff member, Kim Roberson, senior office services assistant in the Office of Graduate Studies, has sustained this devotion for 40 years.
