Staff Senate announces January and February U-Shine Award winners

Staff Senate is proud to announce that Ron Soger, Facilities, is the January U Shine Award recipient. Ron was nominated by Charlotte Bratvold and was presented with a check for $50 and a certificate by Staff Senate President, Loren Liepold.

This award is presented monthly to a UND staff member who went out of their way to make UND a better place. Here is an excerpt of what Charlotte had to say about Ron: “We are going green with our cleaning chemicals, and Ron has been working with our company, testing their products to ensure they meet our cleaning standards. He has accepted this challenge with good spirit and attitude.”

Staff Senate is also proud to announce that Jack Chatt, Facilities Management, is the Febuary U Shine Award recipient. Jack was nominated by Patti Schmidt and was presented with a check for $50 and a certificate by Staff Senate President, Loren Liepold.

Here is an excerpt of what Patti had to say about Jack: “Once again this month, Jack Chatt has completed work for people and had them donate money to the Denim Day Fund instead of keeping it himself. Jack won’t even accept money for the materials he buys. He is just happy to help people and always has a smile on his face. And the Denim Day Fund is the beneficiary of his generosity and talent. I hope you will honor him with the U-Shine Award — he is so deserving!”
