Staff Senate announces U Shine Award UND Staff Senate announced that Diana Knain, Facilities Management Communication Center, is the December "U Shine Award" recipient. This award is presented monthly to a UND staff member who went out of their way to make UND a better place. Diana was nominated by Pam Zimbelman, and was presented with a check for $50 and a certificate by Staff Senate President, Loren Liepold, on Dec. 9. Here is an excerpt of what Pam had to say about Diana: "Diana has worked in the Facilities Management Communication Center since 1985. Over the years, she has also become a certified First Responder for the Reynolds Rescue Squad. In the past two weeks, she used her training twice at work to help injured people. In the first one, she assisted with a car accident; in the second, she responded before emergency personnel arrived after a contractor was injured." -- Staff Senate
