SUPERLATIVE STAFF: END OF THE YEAR AWARDS 2020
Each year the college is pleased to celebrate the winners of its highest employee recognition awards, and this year’s Honorable Mention recipient is Ashley Bidegain and the Employee of the Year recipient is Matt Grogan! Thanks to both of these outstanding contributors for their hard work and perseverance through difficult times! The Wyant College was unable to hold its usual end of year celebration, but we continue to recognize our staff who work so hard to keep the college moving forward.
EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR
All staff that have been previously recognized through a SPOT or Peer-to-Peer award are eligible for Staff Employee of the Year and Honorable Mention. To determine the awards, the committee has the difficult job of evaluating the content of all nominations, factoring in the number of Peer-to-Peer and SPOT awards received throughout the year, as well as the impact of the employees' daily performance.
EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR 2020
The Employee of the Year for 2020 award went to Matt Grogan, Building Manager. Matt was also the recipient of the 3rd Quarter Peer-to-Peer award and a SPOT award in June. Tom Koch, the dean for the College of Optical Sciences, presented Matt with a beautiful glass award. He also received $1,000 for his commitment and dedication to the College of Optical Sciences.
Congratulations from all of us, Matt!
