The work done by graduate students would not be possible if not for the unwavering support of dedicated staff. This award honors those who pick up phone calls at 4:29, fax documents at the last minute, and who always seem to remember every student in a department.</div><div><ul><li><strong>Renee Decker</strong></li><li><strong>Andrea Miller</strong></li></ul></div><div><strong><u>The Alex Riddle Outstanding Senator Award - </u></strong>The Graduate Student Association has established the Alex Rittle Outstanding GSA Senator Award to honor an outstanding Senator who contributes in a meaningful way to the welfare and improvement of the graduate student body through service to GSA and the Graduate Senate.
