Employee Recognition Committee Eunice Lehner, Chair Adelaide Atkielski Rhonda Jones Julie Ridgeman Alicia Stone-Jackson Pat Waege The purpose of this committee is to create and develop opportunities to provide recognition of classified employees on the UW-Whitewater campus. This committee maintains the online Classified Spotlight which highlights two classified employees on a bi-monthly basis; as well as creating the Classified Staff Excellence Award - an award presented to two selected classified employees each year. Other goals of this committee include recognition of classified retirees and new employees.

The CSAC Employee Recognition Committee randomly selects classified employees to spotlight throughout the year. The Spotlights provide an opportunity to get to know classified employees from a personal perspective, as well as enlightening the campus community regarding the specific job duties of these employees and how their jobs intertwine with the rest of the university community. Our April Spotlight is Marni Carter from Math & Computer Science.
