Three UC Santa Cruz staff members were recognized for their contributions to campus at last week’s Staff Appreciate Picnic.
Jan Cloud, assistant dean of the Arts Division, received the annual Outstanding Staff Award sponsored by the Staff Advisory Board and the Alumni Association.
Chancellor George Blumenthal noted that colleagues raved about Cloud’s committment to the intellectual life and programmatic growth of the division.
“She is a wonderful mentor, a good listener, and a creative thinker,” Blumenthal said.
Ashish Sahni, associate chancellor, received the annual Outstanding Senior Leadership Award sponsored by the Council of University of California Staff Assemblies (CUCSA) and Office of the President. The award was presented by CUCSA Chair Greta Carle-Halle, from UC Santa Barbara, and CUCSA Chair-elect Rejeana Mathis from UCLA.
Ricki Carr received the Keven McCauley Memorial Outstanding Staff Award sponsored by CUCSA and Office of the President.
The CUCSA Kevin McCauley Memorial Outstanding Staff Award is designed to recognize staff members at the university who are supportive and inclusive of UC staff, and encourage equity, diversity, and community, are forward thinking, and do not compromise quality.
McCauley was a staff member at UC Santa Barbara and Office of the President who was known for his remarkable commitment to community work.
