Winners of 2001 IC Choice Awards Announced

Thirteen individuals and one group were selected to receive the latest IC Choice Awards. The awards program, begun two years ago, was developed to recognize employees making significant contributions to the College community and to establish a system for rewarding outstanding employees that is separate from the annual review process.

All staff members are eligible for this honor. Up to 15 awards are given each year, with a maximum of 2 of the 15 designated as group awards. Individual winners receive $1,000; group winners each receive $250.

The winners of this year’s IC Choice Awards are listed below. For more information about them and the awards program, visit www.ithaca.edu/hr/compensation/icChoice.htm.
