Andy Awards Celebrate Staff Performance

Staff members are a vital component to the university's success. They are often the unsung heroes at Carnegie Mellon. In 1995, a university-wide recognition program called The Andy Awards, after Carnegie Mellon founder Andrew Carnegie and benefactor Andrew Mellon, was established to honor and praise those teams and individual staff members for their exceptional performance, which often goes above and beyond the call of duty. Awards are presented annually in five categories—dedication, enthusiasm, culture, citizenship and innovation.

The 2004 recipients were Roy Beebe, a gardener in Facilities Management Services (dedication); Michelle Wirtz, administrative coordinator for the Master of Public Management and Master of Educational Technology Management programs at the H. John Heinz III School of Public Policy and Management (enthusiasm); Darlene Covington-Davis, graduate program coordinator for the School of Architecture (culture); Rita Motor, principal software engineer for Administrative Computing and Information Services (citizenship); and Larry Powell, manager of disability resources (innovation).
