Seven Baylor University staff members were named Outstanding Staff at the annual Service Awards ceremony Feb. 13 in the Barfield Drawing Room of the Bill Daniel Student Center.
Honorees were selected by a committee of university staff following nominations from Baylor faculty and staff. Those selected received a certificate signed by Baylor President Robert B. Sloan Jr., an award of $1,500 and recognition in the Baylor Homecoming parade.
