Department Honors Joan Bevan for Her Distinguished Service
04/09/2007 22:10 Filed in: Honor/Awards
The department recently honored Joan Bevan for her
many years of distinguished service to the
department. Although the University has a
distinguished service award, due to a classification
hitch, Joan was not eligible for nomination. As such
that department took it upon itself to show our
gratitude for her many years of service (and with
putting up with all these absent minded professors).
Congratulations to Joan on her much deserved
recognition.
