reception to recognize the best the UA has to offer.

Award for Excellence 

Kay S. Clark 

Assistant Director of Admissions, James E. Rogers College of Law 

Nominated by Terry Sue Holpert 

K 

ay Clark has proven herself a University 

ambassador of the highest caliber. 

Students, faculty and staff benefit daily from 

her extraordinary skills, care for others and 

determination to get things done. 

Kay’s outstanding service to others, 

however, is best illustrated by her response 

to the Hurricane Katrina disaster. When the 

hurricane hit, law students from Tulane and 

Loyola began calling the University, desperate 

to salvage their fall semesters. Although she 

faced an extremely difficult situation, Kay 

threw herself into finding a solution. 

Within a day of receiving the first phone calls, 

Kay had represented the Admissions Office at 

an emergency meeting of the college, where 

the group decided to join the nationwide effort 

to accommodate the displaced students. She 

then single-handedly spoke with victims, 

developed criteria for selecting among the 

candidates, reviewed resumes and applications 

and provided comfort to people whose lives 

had been devastated. Working throughout the 

entire weekend, she admitted eight Tulane law 

students. 

Once the students arrived, she led the effort to 

find them housing, furniture, appliances, and 

personal items. Throughout the fall semester, 

she remained a source of guidance, support, 

and stability for these students. 

In a letter of recommendation, one of the 

students wrote, “I will never forget how Ms. 

Clark met me that Labor Day morning with a 

hug and a smile. It is difficult to describe how 

much of a relief it was to be accepted into a 

place with such warmth and kindness in the 

midst of such seeming chaos and loss.”


Joseph “Ike” Dent 

Chief Broadcast Engineer, UA South 

Nominated by Lorraine DeNigris 

J 

oseph “Ike” Dent is an advocate for 

change. Luckily for the UA, he also is 

committed to the University’s expansion 

in Southern Arizona. 

Ike has been instrumental in the development 

and success of UA South, where he trains and 

assists faculty and staff on the use of classroom 

technology and aids in planning projects such 

as the Patterson Observatory and the Early 

Learning Center. Ike is also responsible for 

bringing the CatCard system to UA South, 

enabling students to take advantage of its 

benefits, and connect with services. 

Ike acts as the advisor for ASUA South, which 

under his guidance has developed into an 

important part of campus life. He recently 

dedicated a great deal of time to planning UA 

South’s first back-to-school event in which 

ASUA provided refreshments, music and raffles 

for students, with student government officers 

participating in new student orientations. A 

colleague wrote, “Ike goes above and beyond 

his duties and responsibilities as their advisor, 

encouraging and supporting the students in 

their pursuit of making UA South an enjoyable 

place as they pursue their University of Arizona 

degrees.” 

In addition to his responsibilities on the south 

campus, Ike also spends many additional hours 

traveling to assist employees and faculty in 

Sierra Vista, Douglas, the Vail School District, 

and at Pima Community College’s East 

Campus. 

Ike’s commitment to the UA shows in the time, 

energy and enthusiasm he devotes to his job. 

As a single individual, Ike has significantly 

contributed to The University of Arizona’s 

mission of serving greater Southern Arizona.


Rafaela Farney 

Administrative Assistant, German Studies 

Nominated by Albrecht Classen 

R 

afaela has been called “the heart and 

soul” of the Department of German 

Studies. 

Serving as the administrative assistant for the 

department for the past eight years, Rafaela’s 

responsibilities include handling student 

files and paper work, organizing textbook 

orders, coordinating classroom scheduling, 

and providing assistance to the department 

head, undergraduate and graduate advisors. 

According to one letter of nomination, she 

performs all of these roles “with an outgoing 

friendliness and willingness to help that is 

truly contagious.” 

writes cards for special occasions, and 

organizes winter holiday gift exchanges 

each year. She also participates in various 

departmental events and helps with many 

charitable organizations. 

“I consider our department exceedingly lucky 

for having Ms. Farney working for us,” wrote 

her nominator. “Without her, our atmosphere, 

our identity, and our collegiality simply would 

be different. In other words, she has deeply 

impacted all of our professional lives ever since 

she came on board.” 

Rafaela also works to create a sense of 

community within her department, making 

the office a positive environment for students, 

professors and staff members. She places 

chocolates in mailboxes on special holidays,


Anne Marie Jones 

Senior Program Coordinator, Vice Provost for Instruction, 

Office of Academic Affairs 

Nominated by Jerrold E. Hogle 

A 

nne Marie Jones makes juggling look 

easy. 

When Anne became the senior program 

coordinator for the Vice Provost for 

Instruction, she assumed the responsibility of 

three positions – executive secretary, operative 

coordinator of general education, and fund 

accountant for all units reporting to the VPI. 

Despite such a complex job description, 

Anne executes her duties impressively. “She 

has done continuously extraordinary, as well 

as extensive, work, often above and beyond 

simply meritorious performance,” wrote her 

nominator. 

In addition to carrying the burden of three 

significant roles, Anne also volunteers for 

special projects of University-wide importance. 

For example, she recently redesigned all levels 

of the University’s central budget for academic 

advising. 

Through countless hours spent looking 

through records, contacting colleges 

and departments to verify employment 

assignments and investigating inconsistencies 

in record-keeping, Anne was successful in 

identifying the amount of permanent funding 

still needed to fulfill the $1.625 million 

commitment made by President Likins to 

support academic advising. Anne’s report 

provided the data necessary to make a request 

to the University’s finance committee. 

Anne’s dedication to serving the University 

shines through in her strong work ethic and 

willingness to assume responsibility.


Andrea E. Lee 

Administrative Associate, Financial Services Administration 

Nominated by Linda Gee 

T 

o say that Andrea takes initiative is an 

understatement. 

Andrea began working at The University of 

Arizona Financial Services Office in March 

1996 as a student worker. Since graduation, she 

was hired as a full-time employee, earning her 

master’s degree in educational leadership via 

night and weekend classes at the UA. 

In her years with the Financial Services Office, 

Andrea has served many different roles, 

tackling each with hard work and enthusiasm. 

As a member of the Nonresident Alien Tax and 

Reporting Team, Andrea had the responsibility 

of helping organize a method of presenting 

and explaining the many different tax treaties 

available to non-residents attending the 

University. Instead of making students come 

to her with questions, she coordinated with 

the International Students Office to take 

part in their Non-resident Alien Orientation 

each semester. As her nominator wrote, 

“She prepared Power Point presentations for 

the students, created brochures containing 

valuable information to explain the process 

of filling out required tax forms and made 

time for each of the attendees to explain very 

detailed information.” 

This is just one example of Andrea’s 

willingness to go the extra mile. Described 

by colleagues as “positive,” “professional,” 

“energetic,” “knowledgeable,” and a “team 

player,” it is clear that Andrea is deserving of 

this honor.


K 

Glory A. Novak 

eeping up with Glory Novak is no small 

task. 

Described as energetic, reliable, organized, 

detailed, broad minded, compassionate and 

community-oriented, Glory is above all 

recognized by co-workers as someone willing 

to go the extra mile. 

Director of Human Resources Finance and Administration 

Nominated by Allison Vaillancourt 

in Barrio Hollywood with maintenance and 

repair, her role proved invaluable. 

Glory was instrumental in recruiting skilled 

crew leaders from Facilities Management, 

soliciting donations for thousands of dollars of 

necessary supplies, organizing volunteers and 

planning of many other aspects of the project. 

Glory’s knowledge of the University and its 

operations is extensive. A colleague wrote in a 

letter of recommendation, “If she doesn’t know 

the answer (which is rare), she always knows 

who to call and knows their phone number by 

heart.” 

In addition to serving the University 

community, Glory is focused upon serving 

the greater Tucson area. Glory has co-chaired 

the UA Day of Caring Project for the past 

two years. In October 2004, when the project 

involved helping low-income homeowners 

A colleague wrote, “Often we would meet 

during our lunch hour to work on the project 

and I would see Glory balancing papers and 

notes on her knee, talking on the phone, e- 

mailing, talking to me and eating her lunch 

all at the same time. The more the project 

heated up, the happier she seemed to be. She 

single-handedly coordinated all of the material 

logistics for the day.” 

Glory is a shining example of the University’s 

commitment to service both on campus and 

within the greater community.


D 

Maria G. Perez 

Custodian, Custodial Services 

Nominated by Lisa Garcia 

edicated, thorough, trustworthy and 

cheerful, Maria Perez defines the ideal 

employee. 

A custodian in the Sarver Heart Center 

building, Maria takes pride in her work, 

putting in long hours and regularly exceeding 

the needs and expectations of staff. As one 

recommender wrote, “She frequently performs 

duties that are beyond the scope of her job 

description. It’s not unusual for me to come in 

and find a note from Maria on my desk, letting 

me know about a potential problem in the 

building or that she has found a ‘lost’ item. It is 

quite reassuring to have the confidence in the 

custodial staff that we have in Maria.” 

Maria is described as the kind of worker 

who works “quietly behind the scenes,” 

making everyone’s lives easier and ensuring 

that the center always looks its best. She 

never complains about extra duties, and she 

willingly fills in for others who are unable to 

come to work. 

Maria is clearly the type of employee that the 

University should value most highly. She is 

well-deserving of this award.


Julia C. Rosen 

Health/Safety Officer, Risk Management and Safety 

Nominated by Jefferey Burgess 

J 

ulia C. Rosen truly cares about the well 

being of students and employees at The 

University of Arizona. 

A health and safety officer in the Department 

of Risk Management and Safety since 1993, 

Julia works daily to minimize occupational 

hazards on campus. 

Already a mentor to many environmental 

and occupational health students, Julia 

designed a program to place graduate 

students in on-campus internships to provide 

risk management expertise for various 

departments. 

The Steward Observatory Mirror Lab has 

benefited from this program, which has 

assigned a series of student interns to work 

on the laboratory’s complex health and safety 

issues. 

“The Mirror Lab has implemented many 

significant safety improvements, arising 

directly from the work of interns, which have 

worked under direct guidance from Julia 

Rosen,” wrote colleagues. “Julia was absolutely 

instrumental in creating this program and 

making it a wonderful success story.” 

In addition to her responsibilities as a student 

mentor and internship coordinator, Julia 

lectures in environmental and occupational 

health courses and leads safety and health 

programs that require across-campus 

partnerships. 

“Julia does far more than show up for work,” 

wrote a nominator. “Julia exemplifies what 

working at a university is about. She educates 

students and workers while providing a quality 

workplace environment.”


Timothy Patrick Ruddy 

General Maintenance Supervisor, University Animal Care 

Nominated by Margaret “Casey” Kilcullen-Steiner 

T 

imothy Patrick Ruddy, to put it simply, 

is a can-do person. 

Perhaps one colleague put it best: “Tim sees a 

problem and learns how to fix it. He is truly a 

Renaissance man.” 

In his 16 years at the University, he has served 

in many different capacities, ranging from his 

original position as an animal care provider 

for research animals to his current position as 

general maintenance supervisor for University 

Animal Care. In each of his roles, Tim always 

puts in 110 percent. 

Tim’s excellent work ethic and expertise in 

various trades such as plumbing, carpentry, 

equipment maintenance, aquatic and electrical 

systems and general construction have given 

him oversight of many construction and 

renovation projects for UA animal facilities. 

During these projects, Tim typically spends 

16-18 hours per day on the job, checking and 

fixing things himself during nights, weekends, 

and holidays to ensure that progress is being 

made. 

In a three page letter of recommendation, 

a colleague wrote, “Over the past ten years, 

he has saved the University hundreds of 

thousands of dollars because of his knowledge, 

attention to detail, and his unwavering 

commitment to seeing projects done right.” 

In addition to all he does for his department, 

Tim regularly donates his unused vacation 

time to other employees across campus in need 

of compassionate leave.


Jenny Ruiz 

Program Coordinator, FSO-Operations 

Nominated by Linda Suhay 

A 

s her nominator wrote, you can always 

count on Jenny. 

Known for her attention to detail, ability as a 

problem solver and calm under stress, Jenny 

has become an esteemed figure in the Financial 

Services Office. 

She has worked with payroll for the past 21 

years, regularly coordinating a number of large 

team projects. Recently, many of these projects 

have involved bringing Financial Services into 

the 21st century, converting office operations 

from paper forms to online processes. For 

instance, Jenny was instrumental in converting 

the Previous Unreported Time Report (PUTR) 

paper form to the Payroll Online Payment 

Request system (POPR), the Time Roster 

Worksheet to the Online Time Roster system, 

and Vacation/Sick/Comp Time Adjustment 

Report paper form to an electronic form. 

In her day-to-day activities, Jenny strives to 

create positive relationships with the greater 

campus community. 

As a result, many describe Jenny as someone 

for whom others hold great respect and 

admiration. One nominator wrote, “Jenny is 

very approachable and always greets us with 

a smile when we come to her office. She does 

whatever it takes to resolve issues or answer 

any questions regardless of their complexity. 

We consider ourselves fortunate to have the 

opportunity to work with such a talented, 

intelligent, and caring individual.”


Richard J. Wagner 

Radiation Control Specialist, Radiation Control Office 

Nominated by Keith Carsten 

F 

rom the moment he began working at 

the Radiation Control Office, Richard 

Wagner made quite an impression on 

his co-workers. 

Wrote a colleague, “During the interview 

process, three things immediately struck 

me about Rich – his leadership skills, his 

enthusiasm, and his incredible “can do” 

attitude. Nothing in the years since his hiring 

has tempered my opinion.” 

As a radiation control specialist, Rich 

has worked in virtually every facet of the 

University’s Radiation Safety Program in the 

past 10 years. In that time, his competence, 

energy, and problem-solving skills have 

benefited numerous departments. 

“Many principal investigators tend not 

to think of compliance departments as 

providing a service, but rather a hindrance or 

an annoyance,” wrote his nominator. “Rich 

receives letters and e-mails of thanks from 

principal investigators who use radioactive 

material, and they actually say ‘thanks for 

making my life easier.’” 

In addition to monitoring the use of 

radioactive material, he also excels as an 

instructor, training hundreds of students, 

faculty, and staff. He also audits faculty 

radiation research approvals, provides support 

in the management of radioactive wastes, and 

serves as secretary to the University Radiation 

Safety Committee. 

A colleague wrote, “Overall, in my decade 

of experience observing Rich Warner’s 

contributions to the RCO and University, 

three words consistently come to mind 

– exceptional, exemplary, and extraordinary.”


W 

hen Prisca Zimmerman entered 

Dr. Katalin Gothard’s monkey 

neurophysiology laboratory in 

January 2005, she immediately became an 

invaluable asset. 

Prisca E. Zimmerman 

Laboratory Coordinator, Physiology 

Nominated by Katalin Gothard 

Prisca’s many duties include training 

the laboratory monkeys, collecting data, 

preparing monkeys for surgical procedures, 

maintaining the inventory of research supplies, 

coordinating the safety of lab personnel, acting 

as a liaison with UA veterinarians, and training 

students to work within the laboratory setting. 

Described by a nominator as “the first to 

volunteer to come back to work at night or 

early the next morning,” Prisca’s commitment 

to her profession is noteworthy. When the 

laboratory prepares for conferences, Prisca 

volunteers to take computers home to 

continue working on data analysis. She also 

voluntarily administers anesthesia and surgical 

assistance for all monkeys used in research 

at the University. Furthermore, Prisca has 

been instrumental to the success of students 

working in the laboratory, personally leading 

their training, filling in when they are sick or 

have to prepare for exams, and helping prepare 

them to interview for medical and veterinary 

schools. 

“Her generosity and team spirit is best 

illustrated by the following anecdote. When 

she passed the probationary period, I gave her 

a small salary raise. When she learned about 

it, she asked me to give this raise to one of the 

students instead,” wrote a nominator. 

Prisca truly defines the idea of going “above 

and beyond,” and her dedication and 

generosity are surpassed only by the esteem of 

her colleagues.

embers of the Childhood Asthma 

Clinical Research Unit team are truly 

making a difference in the world 

around them. A nationally recognized research 

unit for children suffering from asthma, the 

team is dedicated to working with innercity 

and low-income families in the Tucson 

community. 

The team has recruited, enrolled, randomized 

and followed hundreds of children with 

asthma. They are recognized for conducting 

research with the highest of standards, 

producing impressive data and receiving 

outstanding marks on participant satisfaction 

surveys. As a result, the team has been 

consistently recognized by funding agencies 

and other program directors as a model. 

Members of the research unit give of their own 

time, participating in health fairs and fund 

raisers scheduled when working families can 

attend. Their commitment to compassion and 

understanding in working with asthmatic 

children and their families has created a 

special relationship of trust. 

“The team at the Arizona Respiratory Center 

has been superb from top to bottom, with 

every team member making significant, 

noteworthy contributions,” wrote a colleague. 

“They have uniquely contributed to raise the 

presence, prestige, and commitment to our 

University in the section of our community 

that most needs us and that will always be 

the most difficult to reach: the poor, the 

disenfranchised, those who have good reason 

to lose hope.”

Physics Academic Support Office Team 

Nominated by J.D. Garcia 

Susan Arnold 

Eva Teso Gonzales 

Linda Passarelli 


A 

s one faculty member wrote, “The 

Physics Academic Support Office 

is a wealth of skills, knowledge and 

information for graduates, undergraduates, 

faculty and staff.” 

The Academic Support Office performs 

outreach to the more than 2,000 

undergraduates who take physics each year, 

serving as the primary source of help outside 

of the classroom for these students. 

The team also provides many services 

for physics faculty, coordinating room 

assignments, assigning teaching assistants to 

laboratory courses, searching for substitutes 

for sick professors, copying and posting class 

materials online and collecting surveys of 

student satisfaction. 

“It is certainly difficult for me to enumerate 

all the ways that this team has assisted me and 

the faculty and students of our department,” 

wrote a physics professor. “However, I can 

say without reservation that the multitude 

of services that they provide, with great 

efficiency, are indispensable.”

Psychology Advising Team 

Nominated by Arezu Corella 


Margaret “Maggie” Anderson 

Arezu Corella 

Bethany Johnson 

Taylor Robertson 

Christy Winkelman 

T 

he Department of Psychology serves 

approximately 1,800 undergraduate 

psychology majors each year. 

Though the Psychology Advising Team 

consists of only five individuals, it meets this 

challenge head on, providing students with 

accurate, complete and timely information 

regarding their academic program. 

In addition to providing quality student 

advising, the Psychology Advising Team has 

created a number of programs to meet student 

needs. For example, the team designed a course 

to prepare undergraduate students for graduate 

school, which focuses on opportunities 

available within the field of psychology, 

graduate school admissions criteria, graduate 

school applications and preparation for 

graduate entrance exams. 

The Advising Team also created Promoting 

Academic Success for Students (PASS), a 

program that uses trained mentors to assist 

freshmen on academic probation. 

The team also has developed other ways to 

enhance services to students. For instance, 

they created a monthly online newsletter 

that provides information and opportunities 

within the department community, as well as 

an internship program to allow students to 

earn credit for hands-on-experience related to 

psychology with a community organization. 

With a wide array of services that extend far 

beyond basic academic advising, it is clear that 

the Psychology Advising Team strives to guide 

students through the college process every step 

of the way.

The Department of Chemistry has become a model of 

excellence for other academic departments. This may have 

something to do with its mission statement, which is taken 

quite seriously. 

According to its mission statement, the Chemistry 

Department aims to provide the highest quality of chemistry 

education, to advance the science of chemistry and to provide 

information, service and guidance to the community in areas 

requiring an understanding of chemistry. 

To meet these objectives, the department’s staff is divided 

into three groups, each sets its own goals based upon the 

greater departmental mission. Staff in each department 

engage in peer review, conduct self-evaluation, undergo

in-depth annual review 

and analyze yearly 

accomplishments. 

Departmental Award for Excellence continued 

The department has found 

that this complex process of 

expectations and evaluations 

ensures that all staff members 

are working to their highest 

potential. 

It also has helps ensure a more 

motivated work force. From 

January to September 2005, 

for example, chemistry staff 

participated in 810 hours of 

training – an average of 12 

hours per person. 

The department also is 

dedicated to diversity, sporting 

the highest percentage of 

female professors of all 

chemistry departments across 

the nation, and the highest 

percentage of Hispanic faculty 

among the College of Science. 

The Chemistry Department’s 

commitment to its mission, 

to diversity and to its staff 

has rendered it a beacon of 

excellence for the University.

Billy Joe Varney Award 

Utter the name “Billy Joe” and 

almost anyone who has been at the 

University of Arizona any length 

of time, as well as any long-term Tucsonan, 

recognizes that you’re referring to Bill Varney, 

the UA associate vice president emeritus for 

planning and budgeting. 

During his 30 years here, the one-time director 

of the Student Union became an irreplaceable 

fixture by virtue of his dedication not only 

to the goals of the UA, but also to the needs 

of hundreds of students, faculty and staff. 

Billy Joe did not just 

come in contact with 

people — he accosted 

them, as he does even 

now, with a bear hug, a 

bellowed greeting, and 

the kind recognition and 

warmth that made each 

individual know that he 

or she really amounted 

to something. 

For that, as well as for 

countless outstanding 

accomplishments in 

his professional and 

volunteer life, both at 

Past Winners 

the UA and the Tucson community, the Staff 

Advisory Council presented an award to 

Varney at his retirement in 1988. It is an honor 

that, henceforth, would bear his name. 

As established those 18 years ago, the Billy 

Joe Varney Award for Excellence annually 

recognizes a University employee for a career 

of at least 15 years of dedicated service to 

the institution, to its employees and to the 

community of Tucson. In other words, the 

award recognizes someone who lives and acts 

in the spirit of Billy Joe Varney.

Darci A. Thompson 

Director, Life & Work Connections 

Nominated by David L. Swihart 

hen Darci looks around, she sees the 

bigger picture. 

Currently in her 15th year at the UA, Darci 

uses her skills to consistently improve a 

number of programs serving students and 

faculty. By using what colleagues call “future 

scanning” – looking at international, national, 

state, and local trends to analyze their impact 

from a healthcare perspective – she maintains 

one of the nation’s premier wellness programs. 

As a colleague noted, “In the mid to late 

1990s, for example, she developed and added 

the dependent care and work/life support 

programs to LWC, not only because they are 

convenient for employees, but also because she 

saw the approaching problem of recruitment 

and retention long before many of her peers.” 

Darci’s quest for foresight and understanding 

stems from a deep concern for the well being 

of UA students and employees. As a result, 

she makes sure that wellness screenings occur 

regularly in different departments around 

the UA campus and in Southern Arizona, 

partnering with Campus Health and other 

University divisions. 

Darci also takes time to meet the needs of 

individuals. In the aftermath of the College 

of Nursing shootings, Darci made a point of 

meeting with the building custodial staff to 

ensure that their mental and emotional states 

were being addressed. 

Darci’s desire to ensure the well being of UA 

students, faculty, and staff leads her to go well 

beyond administrative duties. Her passion and 

commitment to caring for others help to create 

a more positive and healthy environment for 

the entire University community.

artistry that often goes unnoticed among 

staff at The University of Arizona. This

class junk. Don’t miss the opportunity to
