MACON/ATLANTA – Mercer University at recent Retirement and Recognition Ceremonies in Macon and Atlanta honored faculty and staff for their years of service.
In addition to honoring retirees and current employees who had reached five-year service milestones, one Mercer Spirit Award was presented at each of the ceremonies. The recipients were Gail Sheffield, preceptorship coordinator for the School of Medicine, at the Macon ceremony on April 2, and Rosemary Neal, clinical skills coordinator for pharmacy practice for the College of Pharmacy, at the Atlanta ceremony on April 8.
The Mercer Spirit Award is a community-based recognition that reaffirms Mercer's commitment to customer service and satisfaction and recognizes employees who exhibit exceptional behaviors of caring, respect and the building of the Mercer community. It also recognizes two employees who have demonstrated a high level of service to members of the University community, both internal and external, as well as outside constituencies. Their accomplishments reflect a high level of service, dedication, conscientiousness and compassion, and going beyond what are normal expectations.
Retirees honored included Kathy Ann Arnett, Susan G. Broome, Peter C. Brown, Aaron S. Collins, Deryl Dantzler, John Marson Dunaway, Richard C. Fallis, Robert Holland Jr., Michael N. Horst, Michael S. Leonard, LeGretta J. Maynard, Mamye L. Rogers, A. Melton Strozier Jr. and Barney L. Watts Jr. at the Macon ceremony; and JoEllen Dattilo, Harriett H. Fulton, Stanley H. Pollock, Ann C. Keeley and Sandra L. Shoemaker at the Atlanta ceremony.
