The
pinnacle award in the Recognition Program is a University of
Georgia rocking chair presented at the 30-year level. Betty
Davenport-Dumas of South Campus Custodial (Physical Plant)
has already received that award, but was honored by President
Michael F. Adams and Senior Vice President Tim Burgess for
achieving a 35-year milestone of service.

F&A
staff members enjoyed refreshments following the morning ceremony.
|
 |
In
the afternoon, more than 500 Finance and Administration employees
gathered on Herty Field for an ice cream social.
|
 |
Tim
Burgess and the other members of the senior staff served bowls
of ice cream, which staff members then sprinkled with their
favorite toppings.
|
 |
Duane
Ritter of Human Resources and Holley Schramski of the Controller's
Division had an active serving station – so active that
Danny Sniff of the University Architects Office (in the background)
had to give his arm a rest!
|
 |
Doesn't
this look relaxing? A bowl of ice cream and a breeze off the
water of the Herty Field fountain – the perfect way to
cool off on a warm spring day!
