Awards and Recognition

Meredith Elsik, library assistant at the Coates Library, is the December recipient of the Helen Heare McKinley Classified Employee Excellence Award. The McKinley Award honors a deserving member of the classified staff each quarter.

“Meredith’s service at the library’s Help Desk is exemplary ... and she is an invaluable resource for students, faculty, and community members,” said Benjamin Harris, assistant professor and reference librarian. “She’s a ‘can-do’ person who always has (a positive) attitude, and by example, she encourages this attitude in others.” In addition to a certificate, the recognition includes a cash award.  The next McKinley Award will be announced in March, and the next deadline for nominating a recipient is May 5.  For more information, contact Michael McKinnerney at mmckinne@trinity.edu.
