Staff Senate announces the July "U-Shine" award winner UND Staff Senate is proud to announce the July “U Shine Award” recipient, Cynthia Veitch, Terrace Dining Center. Cindy was nominated by Lisa Burger, Student Success Center, and was presented with a check for $50 and a certificate by Staff Senate President, Loren Liepold, on July 6. 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 Lisa had to say about Cindy: “Any one of the U Shine categories can describe why Cindy was nominated for this award! She exhibits a warm and caring attitude towards everyone with whom she has contact. One recent experience exemplifies how she has gone above and beyond the call of duty. Cindy sells lunch tickets everyday at the Freshman Getting Started program. One day last week, upon arrival at the program, a mother realized she had left her purse on her kitchen counter in Fargo, leaving her and her son without money to purchase Freshman Getting Started lunch tickets. Without hesitation, Cindy was willing to give this student and his mother money out of her own pocket to cover the expense. That truly was a U Shine moment! We appreciate all that Cindy does!” All UND staff members are eligible to receive this award. Nominations can be submitted through the Staff Senate website, 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 monthly and awards are presented the first business day of the following month. -- Shari Nelson, Assistant Director of Learning Services, Student Success Center, sharinelson@mail.und.nodak.edu, 777-2117
