Five employees honored with "Amys"

STANFORD -- Laboratory Services Coordinator Mark D. Gibson of the Center for Materials Research has been named the 1993 recipient of the Amy J. Blue Award for staff excellence (see separate story).

The award was presented by President Gerhard Casper at a Buck Estate ceremony Monday, April 26.

The award honors the memory of Amy J. Blue, assistant vice president for administrative services, who died in 1988. It is accompanied by a $1,000 stipend, which the recipient may use to support expenses related to professional development activities of his or her choice.

The awards committee also presented five 1993 "Amy" awards to "five really inspiring people who make a difference" at Stanford, said Susan W. Schofield, project team leader for the Business Practices Initiative, who served as chair of the selection committee.

The "Amy" winners are:

The 1993 selection committee included: Robert C. Gregg, dean of the chapel; Lowell Price, senior associate provost and Cabinet secretary; Margarita Tellez, transportation demand management coordinator; Peter Tuttle, computer systems specialist; and Carol Vonder Linden, assistant dean of research. Tuttle won the Amy J. Blue Award in 1992, Vonder Linden in 1991, the first year it was given.

One hundred and thirty staff names were submitted to the committee by 310 nominators, of whom 65 were faculty, 230 staff and 15 students.
