Staff Senate announces January "U Shine" award winner UND Staff Senate announces John Seibel as the January “U Shine Award” recipient. Seibel was nominated by Gwen Molsbarger and was presented with a check for $50 and a certificate by Staff Senate President Janice Hoffarth Jan. 7. This award is presented monthly to a UND staff member who went out of their way to make UND a better place. Here is an excerpt of what Molsbarger had to say about John: “A custodian was emptying a waste can and heard a kind of unusual noise, a kind of noise paper shouldn’t make. He looked in the container and discovered a bag of money. He immediately turned it in to our supervisor who returned it to the office worker who accidentally tossed it. I think that’s an incredibly honest thing to do and makes John a truly ‘U Shine’ employee.” All UND staff members are eligible to receive this award. Nominations can be submitted through the Staff Senate Web site, http://www.und.edu/org/undss/ or forms are available at UND Facilities, Dining Services and the Memorial Union Post Office. Nominations must be received by the 15th of the month; awards are presented the first business day of the following month. -- Janice Hoffarth, President, Staff Senate, janice_hoffarth@und.nodak.edu, 7-2646
