Staff members win distinguished service awards
by Paula J. Baughn

The three winners of the 2002 President's Award for Distinguished Service have nearly 40 years of experience at CWRU among them.

Daniel "Tex" Kelly of printing services, G. Dean Patterson Jr. of student affairs and Gail P. Shipley of human resources were honored with the distinguished service awards at the Staff Service Award Luncheon conducted this month in the Thwing Center ballroom.

Also honored at the luncheon were 18 University employees with 25 years of service and 58 staff members who celebrated 10 years at CWRU in 2001-2002.

Daniel "Tex" Kelly

Kelly is known for going the extra mile as a bindery specialist with Printing Services. A 20-year employee of the University, Kelly is dedicated to customer service. He regularly makes deliveries in the rain and snow-with a smile- and volunteers to work late or on weekends in order to complete rush jobs for customers. He is pleasant and efficient in taking orders and checking on the progress of projects as well as in bringing much-needed supplies to all areas of campus. Kelly maintains his good humor despite tight deadlines and is always willing to lend a hand in completing jobs.

G. Dean Patterson Jr.

A regular entrant in the University's Martin Luther King Jr. essay contest and facilitator of diversity workshops, G. Dean Patterson Jr. is devoted to increasing tolerance and compassion on campus. The assistant vice president for student affairs "shows genuine interest and concern for students . . . and (is) optimistic in the face of crisis or criticism," a student nominator wrote. A staff member since 1990, Patterson has been active in the University community for more than 30 years as an undergraduate and graduate student, a counselor and a nursing faculty member. Patterson also serves on a variety of University and community committees.

Gail P. Shipley

In her seven years as a benefits specialist at CWRU, Gail P. Shipley has made a tremendous impact on the human resources department and the University as a whole. Shipley is a diversity trainer and contributes to various staff recognition and development programs. She formed the Wealth Builders Club, is an active member of the Women's Coalition and its book club and plays a key role each year in Party on the Quad. In addition, she is a regular volunteer for the JASON project activities and Parade the Circle celebration and works with Cleveland adult education programs, teaching English as a second language, helping people study for GED exams and more. A long-time member and former chair of the Staff Advisory Council, Shipley volunteered to create and continues to maintain the SAC Web site.
