Past Recipients
The Andy Awards program began in 1995 and honored nominees in three categories: Satisfying Customers, Increasing Productivity and University Citizenship. While the categories and nomination procedure have evolved over the past two decades, the spirit of the Andy Awards remains the same to serve as a tribute to the spirit of teamwork and dedication embodied by the staff at Carnegie Mellon University.
