Spring 2007 Living Our Values Awards
May 22, 2007
Dear Colleagues:
I am very pleased to announce the recipients of the spring 2007 Living Our Values Awards.
These awards honor members of the University of California, Irvine employee community whose actions best embody the university’s values of respect, intellectual curiosity, integrity, commitment, empathy, appreciation and fun. After careful consideration, three individuals and one team have been selected as our inaugural award recipients.
Individual award recipients are Darlene Bradley, director of emergency/trauma services, UC Irvine Medical Center; Linda Truong Le, management services officer, Department of Spanish & Portuguese; and Alberto Roca, assistant project scientist, Department of Molecular Biology & Biochemistry.
A facilities management team including William Mitchell, Brian Grochow, Corey Turpin, Rhonda Espinosa, Scott Pribyl, Kevin Brown, Roger Beaty, Hipolito Barrera and Michael Guerra received the team award.
I also want to offer my congratulations to all award nominees. In total, 60 individual names and teams were submitted for consideration. All were nominated by colleagues who found inspiration in their contributions to our community, with many providing such exemplary service it made the choice of our finalists extraordinarily difficult. Profiles of award recipients and an honor roll of nominees can be viewed here.
Finally, let me express my appreciation to all of you who submitted nominations. Your efforts have shown how truly alive our values are at UCI.
I look forward to your nominations for the fall 2007 Living Our Values Awards.
Michael V. Drake, M.D.
Chancellor
