Cathy Taruskin is a Programmer/Analyst in the office of Undergraduate Admissions where her dedication to streamline processes has made credit card payments easier for over 800 students. Her nominator wrote: "Cathy has the courage to do the right thing even when the odds of success appear slim. Equally as important, she is able to do the demanding and delicate task of convincing others to give a little extra to address problems before they materialize."
  • 
Judie Welch is an Administrative Assistant with the Mathematics Diagnostic Testing Project in the Mathematics Department. Judie performs her extensive job duties in an exemplary and highly innovative manner. Her nominator wrote "Through her actions she has shown to all her peers that people come first. She has a deep commitment to strengthen personal relations and the math department community." As a recent example, Judie followed up when a professor sounded unwell during a phone conversation. Though it was not her responsibility, her sensitivity, concern, and persistence likely saved this professor's life.
  • Rich Wong is an Account Manager in Career Services at the Haas School of Business. He consistently goes above and beyond in his efforts to find innovative ways to connect students to potential employers, including running a series of Silicon Valley Van Tours to help students become more familiar with the area. Similarly, he is a master at maintaining good relations with high-tech companies, which has resulted in the successful placement of graduates. His nominator wrote, "While his job is externally focused, he not only finds time to work with students but [also] to delight them."

America 101 Team

  • Gina Abrams
  • Jarralynne Agee
  • Pepper Black
  • Dara Birnbaum
  • Sam Castañeda
  • Dawn Martin-Rugo
  • Norton Mitchell
  • Dianne Rush Woods
  • Tavie Tipton

The nine member team, "America 101," is comprised of staff from four departments who created a program to provide free services such as English - as a second language and American culture support for new students, service employees, post docs and visiting scholars. The team took an innovative and holistic approach to training not only the participants, but also their residential families and children in everyday needs ranging from how to call 911, to shopping and dining out, with an overall mission of insuring that all UC Berkeley affiliates had the language and cultural tools they needed to feel connected to the university, safe in their communities and able to achieve their scholarly and career goals.

Sagehen Creek Field Station Team

  • Jeff Brown
  • Faerthen Felix

The two members of the "Sagehen Creek Field Station" team saved the station, located near Truckee in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, from ruin. When a university contractor defaulted on the work of rebuilding the station, the team rolled up their sleeves, and did the construction themselves. The station was abandoned and inaccessible because of winter snowpacks six feet deep. Their tireless efforts included returning to their home in Utah, to bring a tractor to Sagehen. Their efforts extend far beyond the physical site, with the members becoming active in the local community to insure community involvement in the site. Their efforts were rewarded with a $30,000 foundational grant and the establishment of a locally funded "Adventure Risk Challenge" outreach program that provides at risk local teens with a six week intensive experiential learning opportunity.

WebAccess Team

  • Chris Ashley
  • Caroline Boyden
  • Derek Coates
  • Karen Eft
  • Jim Gammon
  • Lucia Greco
  • Sarah Hawthorne
  • Natalie Kato
  • Kalle Nemvalts
  • Kathleen Phillips Satz
  • Bill Sprenger
  • Dianne Walker

The 12 members of the "WebAccess" team came together from seven departments across campus to research and create standards for accessibility of the campus's websites and services for the disabled members of the campus community. From their founding in January 2005, the hallmark of the team has been collaboration which they actively model and practice in their outreach efforts to departments and groups across campus by means of clinics, a lively listserve, and presentations at working groups such as Micronet. The team has raised collective awareness, at the grass roots level, of the need to support accessibility and to make campus resources available to all members of the community. In the words of their nominator, "Quietly and profoundly this group has been pursuing [Chancellor Birgeneau's] vision of an inclusive Univeristy."

West Village Opening Custodial Team

  • Ramiro Barsenas-Rocha
  • Alvara Loza DeTapia
  • Patricia Ochoa
  • Catalina Portillo-Gamez
  • Alejandro Santillan

The five members of "West Village Opening Custodial Team," are all senior custodians who took the initiative to take over the interior housekeeping preparations for 258 new apartments, in Step 2 of the project that began in 1998. This team began their work months before the July opening date. Not only did they complete the project on time, but they did so with results far superior to anything the builder could have provided. The team's efforts were self-directed and comprehensive, including product evaluation, project scheduling and continual refinements. The team undertook this project concurrent with the scheduled summer reconditioning of vacated units in University village. According to their nominator, "This team asked for and took on duties that wouldn't normally be expected of a custodial team, and they did it professionally and with great spirit. UCB should be proud to have these dedicated people working at Cal."
