University F&A

Employees recognized for commitment



Employees of the Quarter
Robert Rentz and Ping Yan, Grants & Contracts Accounting
“This nomination is to recognize Bobby and Ping for the development of a process to automate our journal entries when we have to correct the distribution of facilities and administrative costs to sponsored projects.”
—Velma Stamp, Director, Grants & Accounting




Patti Kelly, Human Resources Management
“As many of you know, most salary changes across the university are now submitted online, through a new e-program called TeamWorks. A committee was formed to work through all of the issues involved in implementing this program. While there were many people involved in its implementation, I would like to give special recognition to Patti Kelly, HRM’s IT manager, who spearheaded this incredibly complex and time-consuming project. The hours, weeks, and months that Patti put into this project helped make it a success. The entire university will benefit from these efforts for years to come.”—K. Gale O'Neal, Human Resources Managemeni

David Blick, Engineering & Facilities
“During a routine physical, Dr. Keith noticed my fingernails and ordered a chest X-ray, which led to a diagnosis of lung cancer. As a result of Dr. Keith’s astute observational and assessment skills, my cancer was diagnosed very early, which meant that I only had to have part of a lung removed without any further treatment. Today, I am cancer free. Had Dr. Keith not suggested the chest X-ray, I’m sure my cancer would not have been found until much later when the treatment and outcome surely would have been much worse. I will forever be indebted.”—Sheryl Weathers, patient
