Congratulations to Megan Petter, program coordinator for student activities, who has been selected as the Excellent Eagle Employee for the month of April. A parking spot of her choosing has been reserved for her through the end of the month.
Here is what a co-worker said about her:
“Megan always comes through with a Can-Do attitude, and uses her never-ending enthusiasm to do a great job in everything she does. She never hesitates to help her colleagues and always does so with a smile.”
To nominate someone who you believe is an Excellent Eagle Employee, send an email to Priscilla Sullivan (psulliva@umw.edu) with Excellent Eagle Employee in the subject line. In your email, be sure to list the person’s name, department, job title, work location (with the most convenient parking lot), and of course, the reason why you believe they should be recognized. Please spread the word to other employees about this wonderful opportunity to recognize a co-worker(s).
You may now go to the Staff Advisory Council’s site and click on the Excellent Eagle tab to make a nomination: http://sac.umwblogs.org/excellent-eagle/.

Introducing Baldwin
The Name the Eagle Contest
Winning Name: Baldwin
Submitted By: Tameka Jalal, Office Manager in the Events Office
Tameka will receive a free lunch in Seacobeck
Now that it has a name, Baldwin will begin flying around campus, landing on unsuspecting members of the University community. When Baldwin lands, instructions on how to send him off to the next person will come with him. Baldwin’s victim may choose the next place he lands.
Any additions or “improvements” to Baldwin along the way are strongly encouraged.
The Staff Advisory Council will meet Thursday, March 20 in Lee Hall, Room 412. Provost Jonathan Levin will give a presentation on academic programming and Golda Eldridge, director of leadership for Student Affairs, will present on “Leadership UMW.” All meetings are open to the greater UMW community.
The Meeting Minutes from the Staff Advisory Council meeting on Dec. 12, 2013 are below in addition to the question and answer sheet from the guest speakers.
We’ve helped to feed Fred another week! The Feed Fred representative left with 5 boxes, several bags, and two cases of Ensure (what a great idea) on Friday, Nov. 22.
I don’t know why I am still amazed at the generosity that pours out at each campaign, because UMW employees come through again and again, without fail.
Our One Can Hope campaign has definitely turned into a more-than-one can/bag/box of hope, and it really touches me to know that UMW has done its part to help prevent our area adults and children from being hungry week after week. And even though slightly more labor-intensive, our new campaign format — donations going out every Friday — has helped Feed Fred tremendously with their efforts in feeding our area’s homeless and hungry individuals and families.
Thank you all again for your commitment and continuing work in this important undertaking.
