Campus Announcements

New library appointment
With the concurrence of the President, and after consultation with Library faculty, staff and administrative groups, Ric Brown, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, has announced the appointment of Tamara Frost Trujillo as Senior Associate Dean in Charge of the Library. Trujillo, who previously served in this status several years ago, will work closely with Associate Dean Fred Batt as the search for a permanent Dean gets under way. The appointment was effective on June 1 and will continue until the permanent position is filled.

Trujillo will work in consultation with Library personnel to finalize the strategic plan that has been in progress and propose next steps. That plan will form the basis for the vacancy announcement that is expected to be posted in early fall 2007.

Staff Employee Recognition Program
The recipients for this quarter’s Staff Employee Recognition Program have been announced by the Office of the President. They are Leticia Guerrero, Human Resources; Larry Kushman, University Enterprises, Inc; Matthew Mason, Facilities Management; and Ellen Young, University Library.

Leticia ("Letty") Guerrero works in the Payroll Office. Guerrero’s nominator indicated that she "truly sets an excellent example for the University as the ultimate dedicated employee." Her nominator went on to say that she gives "each problem her full attention until it is resolved to everyone's satisfaction" and that she is greatly respected throughout the campus for her willingness to help others and her excellent customer service skills.

Larry Kushman is a System Analyst in University Enterprises, Inc. He recently played a crucial role in the transfer of CSUS Trust Foundation accounts to University Enterprises, Inc. His nominator wrote that Kushman "did his best to keep processes very similar to make the transition easier for end users and, in fact, he was able to make it easier for report information to be retrieved." Other comments included that Kushman is a true team player and is very dedicated to his projects and the quality of his work.

Matt Mason works in the Automotive Services area of Facilities Management. During the time Mason has been here, he has come up with numerous ideas for cost savings and more efficient equipment utilization. In doing so, his nominator indicated that "he has vastly improved the level of service provided" and that Mason’s positive attitude is a terrific asset to Automotive Services.

Ellen Young is an Administrative Analyst in the University Library. Her nominator wrote that "her outstanding interpersonal skills put everyone at ease" and that her work is always completed "on time or early...and with exceptional accuracy." Young also developed a special web page for the Library's many student employees and the supervisors to find, in one place, information ranging from policies to paydays. She has also served on many library and University committees.
