University Service Award The University Service Award recognizes time and effort voluntarily given to the university community. The time and effort are considered outside of the normal work assignment and may include being involved on a campus committee, providing assistance to staff, students or a campus organization, etc. The result of this involvement is increased positive perception of the University within the community or enhancing the ability of the University to accomplish its mission of providing educational opportunities. The recipient of the 2013 University Service Award is: Cindy Marczak Cindy works in the Business Affairs Office as a Program Assistant Advanced – Confidential to the Vice Chancellor. Cindy has served as clerical support on numerous Search and Screen Committees in the past year, sometimes coordinating more than one at a time. Cindy also organized and coordinated the remodeling and updating of the Business Affairs office suite, working with the designer on choosing colors, carpeting, paint, etc. She manages the video system in meeting room 203 of Old Main. She is also an active member of the Information Technology Committee of the Faculty Senate. In addition, Cindy was key in organizing social activities for the building and keeping occupants aware of issues involving the building, such as fire alarm testing, etc. She is the Treasurer for Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church, and has also served on CSAC in the past. Says one colleague, “Cindy’s dedication to the success of the institution is remarkable. It is easy for anyone in any job to focus just on their personal responsibilities, but her effort to ensure the overall success of the institution is admirable. Her selflessness to take on extra projects for other units than her own is a testament to her dedication to UWSP.” Congratulations to all award recipients on your well-deserved recognition.
