GREEN RECEIVES HONOR FOR WORK ETHIC

Over the years, Beverly Green’s co-workers have become well aware of her professional strengths, but recently, they saw a different side of her.

“When I found out that they nominated me for a Staff Excellence Award, I cried in front of them,” said Green, custodian supervisor for UH’s Residential Life and Housing. “They called be a big baby.”

Green’s reaction might have provoked some friendly teasing, but everyone certainly recognizes her work ethic and dedication to the university. She has been a staff member for 25 years.

“Her devotion to duty is the highest in our department,” wrote one
co-worker in an award nomination letter. “She always exhibits a high degree of professionalism and demonstrates a willingness to go beyond her assigned duties.”

The award includes a $1,000 check.
