Campus honors 43 staff members with Excellence in Management Awards

05 June 2002 | Staff picks for outstanding examples of “Leadership in Challenging Times” received the Berkeley Staff Assembly’s 2002 Excellence in Management Award in a sometimes boisterous ceremony May 23.

Award-winning supervisors and managers and some 350 of their devoted staff packed the International House auditorium to receive their awards from Vice Chancellor Horace Mitchell.

The occasion was not a decorous one. Ignoring words of caution against excess, enthusiastic staff members leapt from their seats to cheer, toot noisemakers and kazoos and unfurl banners as their bosses’ names were called. Some wore party hats. Chancellor Berdahl, who gave a congratulatory keynote address, and BSA staff members Marilyn Barulich and Barbara Hadenfeldt lent some dignity to the proceedings.
