The recipients of the 2016-2017 President’s Meritorious Service Awards have been selected. A nomination period was held this fall. From the nominations submitted, an anonymous committee, comprised of representatives from across campus, had the difficult task of selecting the award winners from an extraordinary group of nominees.
The President’s Meritorious Service Awards recognize and reward staff for their commendable service to the university. Organizers say the recipients of this highly prestigious award have demonstrated their commitment to the Aggie core values of excellence, integrity, leadership, loyalty, respect and selfless service. “To each of them, I extend my most sincere congratulations and deep appreciation for their tremendous efforts that make Texas A&M such a great place to live and work,” says Texas A&M University President Michael K. Young.
