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.
Dan Mizer, student development
specialist and south area coordinator
for student housing, said he believes

the program may motivate employ
ees to work harder.
“I think anytime you have an in
centive, whether it’s monetary or
recognition, it will always be a perk
for some, especially with the econ
omy the way it is and the uncertainty
of the budget,” Mizer said. “I think
it’s a super idea.”
Employee relations representative
Alison Paggi agreed on the pro
gram’s merits.
“Many times staff members work
very diligently,” Paggi said. “So it’s
another way to recognize outstand
ing service.”
To be eligible for the program,
nominees must be non-faculty staff
who have worked for the University
for at least two years. 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.
Faculty and staff members are eli
gible to nominate candidates for the
program. Nominations are due in
the personnel department office by
Sept. 30.
