Congratulations to the nominees and winners of the 2018 College of Arts & Humanities Staff Awards. Lauren Becker and Arlene Flores, both from the School of Performing Arts, and Christine Michel, from the School of Visual Arts & Design, won the USPS and A&P awards, which each come with a monetary award. The nominees included Haley Baker (English), Gary Brown (Performing Arts), Maribel Herrera (Philosophy), Susan Jefferson (Modern Languages & Literatures), John Parker (Performing Arts), and Dave Schreier (Performing Arts).
The first USPS Award is given in memory of the late Dr. David Vickers. The second USPS Award is given in honor of Dr. Bruce Whisler. They both were dedicated and outstanding faculty members of the College of Arts & Sciences and the College of Arts & Humanities. The award given to an A&P employee is in honor of the late Tony Travaglini. Tony was an exceptional staff member of the college and gave his time and his expertise generously.
Additionally, staff members were honored for years of service at UCF.
