Outstanding Work Performance Award
The Outstanding Work Performance Award recognizes performance far beyond what is normally
expected of an employee. It includes taking on additional responsibilities or increased workload,
accepting and completing special projects that are not part of the employee’s normal work duties,
developing or modifying procedures or exhibiting behavior that enhances the employee’s workplace.
The result is improved effectiveness and efficiency of service offered by the work unit or the
University.
The recipients of the 2013 Outstanding Work Performance Awards are:
Betty Kieliszewski
Betty works in the School of Education as a University Services Associate 2. This past year, she
completed their four year scanning project which involved almost 15,000 files. Additional state laws
for assessments in teacher education have required Betty to work with IT to make sure UWSP is
prepared for the data entry that is needed. Other requirements for online services have brought Betty
to work closely with IT. Her dedication to the School of Education and UWSP is a trait to be
commended. Congratulations, Betty!
Pat Kleman
Pat works in the Dean’s Office of the College of Letters and Science. With the implementation of
the new HR System, Pat has reviewed the payroll for every employee in the College to verify the
correct information. Pat has planned a training session and review for all Academic Department
Associates within the College. Each ADA received a binder to explain university procedures. This
has provided efficient and effective processes for all involved. Congratulations, Pat!
Justin Lechleiter
Justin is located in Neale Hall as a Custodian for Residential Living. He moved from Facility
Services Academic Custodial during 2012. Justin has always taken on extra duties when asked to

caring individual who quickly won their respect in Residential Living.
Congratulations, Justin!
