The winners of the Beverly S. and Eugene M. Tobin Employee Awards were announced at Hamilton's annual employee service recognition luncheon on May 16 at Soper Commons.
Director of Auxiliary Services Irene Cornish and Maureen Scoones, associate director, IT Process Improvement and Education, were honored in the administration group; Bill Zieres, stock room supervisor, Physical Plant, was recognized in the staff category; and Judy Elliott, custodian, Physical Plant, was honored in the Maintenance & Operations group.
President Joan Hinde Stewart presented the awards following the recognition of employees who had achieved 10, 20, 30 and 40 years of service to the College. William J. Powers, custodian foreperson, was recognized for 40 years of service at Hamilton.
The Tobin Employee Awards were begun in 2006 to annually recognize one representative from each of the College's three non-faculty groups of employees: administrators, staff members and maintenance and operations workers. Monetary awards are made each year from an employee-generated fund established in 2003 to honor Gene Tobin, Hamilton College's 18th president, and his wife Beverly. The fund honors the couple's 23 years of service to the Hamilton community.
