At the employee holiday luncheon on Dec. 19, Nola Belanger, Administrative Specialist in the Registrar’s Office, received the 2016 Nan Amodeo Staff Award. Established by Emerita Professor Nancy Amodeo, the award recognizes a UMPI hourly-wage employee for his or her outstanding service to the University. Although Dr. Amodeo was full of admiration for faculty, professional staff, and even administrators, she felt that hourly employees were too often “un-praised members” of the UMPI community and that their dedication deserved appropriate recognition. Here, President Ray Rice presents Belanger with her award.
