Jan Russell was honored with the MU Service Champions Award for May 2012. Jan, an executive staff assistant to Bryan Garton, was surprised with the award by members of MU’s Staff Advisory Council.

This award is presented to one individual each month who best epitomizes the four core values of the University: Respect, Responsibility, Discovery, and Excellence. Recipients of the award go above and beyond, who perform their duties day after day with an exceptional work ethic and attitude that makes them stand out.

Later this fall Chancellor Brady Deaton will host Russell and the other 2012 recipients for a luncheon. She also receives a $25 gift certificate from the University Bookstore, a one-month membership to the Rec Center, a certificate for two meals at Campus Dining and a plaque.

Tracie Vangel, administrative assistant, Ag Extension-Social Sciences, nominated Russell for the award. Congratulations, Jan!
