Employees were presented with raffle prizes as well as hard-earned service awards, including three University Staff Council (USC) Awards, which are named for Larry Atkins; one Charles Coleman Memorial Service Award; and one Richard V. and Rosemary A. Hurley Presidential Commendation.<\/p><p>USC award winner <strong>Shannon Petska<\/strong> was praised by colleagues as &ldquo;the definition of going above and beyond for one&rsquo;s position.&rdquo; As exhibition coordinator, Petska manages the display and care of the University&rsquo;s art collection in its two on-campus galleries. According to her backers, &ldquo;to know Petska is to know she gets things done; we could not do all that we do without her tireless commitment and enthusiasm.&rdquo;<\/p><p>As an accounts payable specialist, USC award winner <strong>Laura Temple<\/strong> is also known for going above and beyond in her work. According to colleagues, what stands out about Temple is &ldquo;her patience, her clear communication, and her willingness to help; she also often sets aside current tasks to help flustered fellow workers.&rdquo;<\/p><p>USC award winner <strong>Peter Catlin<\/strong> has worked diligently in the Simpson Library for 14 years as a research and instruction librarian who also teaches numerous research workshops, from FSEMs to 300+-level courses. Catlin is a well-known and respected leader whose colleagues say is &ldquo;authentic, honest, welcoming, fair-minded, and works well with both students and faculty, with enthusiasm and positive energy.&rdquo;<\/p><div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"1100\" data-carousel-extra='{\"blog_id\":7,\"permalink\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.umw.edu\\\/news\\\/2024\\\/10\\\/17\\\/umw-employees-honored-and-awarded-at-annual-appreciation-luncheon\\\/\",\"likes_blog_id\":230672515}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\"> <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 1100px; height: 294px;\" data-original-width=\"1100\" data-original-height=\"294\"> <div class=\"gallery-group images-1\" style=\"width: 439px; height: 294px;\" data-original-width=\"439\" data-original-height=\"294\"> <div class=\"tiled-gallery-item tiled-gallery-item-large\" itemprop=\"associatedMedia\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/2024\/10\/17\/umw-employees-honored-and-awarded-at-annual-appreciation-luncheon\/0817-k-pearlman-photography\/\" border=\"0\" itemprop=\"url\"> <meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"435\"> <meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"290\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" data-attachment-id=\"104099\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/10\/0817-K-Pearlman-Photography-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1707\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta='{\"aperture\":\"2.8\",\"credit\":\"\",\"camera\":\"Canon EOS 5D Mark IV\",\"caption\":\"\",\"created_timestamp\":\"1697431229\",\"copyright\":\"\",\"focal_length\":\"50\",\"iso\":\"1600\",\"shutter_speed\":\"0.003125\",\"title\":\"\",\"orientation\":\"1\"}' data-image-title=\"\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/10\/0817-K-Pearlman-Photography-300x200.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/10\/0817-K-Pearlman-Photography-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/10\/0817-K-Pearlman-Photography-scaled.jpg?w=435&amp;h=290&amp;ssl=1\" srcset=\"\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/10\/0817-K-Pearlman-Photography-scaled.jpg 2560w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/10\/0817-K-Pearlman-Photography-300x200.jpg 300w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/10\/0817-K-Pearlman-Photography-1024x683.jpg 1024w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/10\/0817-K-Pearlman-Photography-768x512.jpg 768w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/10\/0817-K-Pearlman-Photography-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/10\/0817-K-Pearlman-Photography-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" width=\"435\" height=\"290\" loading=\"lazy\" data-original-width=\"435\" data-original-height=\"290\" itemprop=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/image\" title=\"\" alt=\"Research and Instruction Librarian Peter Catlin accepts a USC award for his commitment to UMW.
