Community Builders: 2017 Outstanding Contributors

OUTSTANDING UVA STAFFERS HONORED FOR THEIR RESPECT AND WISDOM

The 2017 winners of the University of Virginia’s Leonard W. Sandridge Outstanding Contribution Awards are not just team players, they’re community builders. They treat others – whether coworkers, students, faculty, administrators, clients, patients or other UVA visitors – with respect and compassion. In response, others trust them for advice and problem-solving. They are a group of employees driven to excel and improve not only themselves, but also their departments and the University. The Sandridge Awards are the highest honors the University bestows upon its employees. The winners – five employees from the Academic Division, five from the Medical Center and one from UVA’s College at Wise – are being honored at one of two Service Award dinners. Those from the Academic Division were recognized Tuesday alongside employees who have 25-plus years of service. Health System awardees and employees with similarly long careers will be honored at a second dinner on Monday. Awardees also will attend a Board of Visitors luncheon on Friday.
