Former students fund new award for staff members By Lisa Fleischmann Reporter The Association of Former Stu dents is funding a President’s Mer itorious Service Awards program that will recognize outstanding serv ice by University non-faculty staff members. Each of the 10 employees selected for an award will receive a plaque and $500. Texas A&M President Frank Van diver said of the program, “The staff does so much that’s important, and they need to be recognized.” The 3,926 non-faculty staff mem bers comprise 68 percent of all Uni versity employees. This is the first year these employees have been eli gible to participate in an awards pro gram. The idea for the program origi nated with Vandiver and was shaped by discussions with University ad ministrators and former students.

They also must be below the position of department head or director and be employed full-time. Staff members will be eligible to win the award only once.
