Who’s Who on Campus
We’ve got a lot of great people
on campus, and we thought you’d like to get
to know more about them. These individuals
have been selected by their colleagues as
people you should know on campus. In fact,
there’s so many wonderful UH employees that
we’ve decided to highlight two of them this
month.
Please continue to nominate your outstanding
colleagues, and we will continue to publish
them in order of receipt. If you submitted a
nomination between November 15, 2007 and
January 11, 2008, please resubmit the
information (an internal error was detected
and corrected, but nominations during that
time were not received).

aid who is distressed. She has a way
of calming people down. I for one
have to admire her, because it’s not
all just about the work.”
