Eleven winners are from the professional, administrative, clerical and technical employee groups. They are: Luanne Bigelow, accountancy; Gaurav Dave, College of Aviation; Betsy Drummer, SAMPI-science studies; Denise M. Forman, physical plant-landscape services; Lori A. Krum, physics; Megan McCoy, catering; Kimberly R. Peters, Study Abroad; Mary Swartz, continuing education-Traverse City Regional Center; Joanne K. VandenBerg, continuing education-Muskegon Regional Center; Judy Walters, Ombudsman's Office; and Alicia J. Yeagley, communication.
Winners of the winter '01 and fall '00 semiannual awards are the candidates from which four employees will be selected to win annual awards, with a $1,000 prize, later this spring. More information on the annual awards will be available soon.
