These awards are presented annually to employees who

through instruction or service to students and employees. The college
presented the awards at the annual all-staff meeting in the middle of
the fall semester.
The Outstanding Employees of the Year are chosen through
a nomination process of their peers. Nominations include information
explaining why
the candidate should be considered along with the signatures of six employees.
Categories evaluated during the nomination process include performance,
human relations skills, innovation and creativity.
The Devi Barghava Staff/Faculty
Recognition Award was established with funds donated by her family
and friends in memory of Devi Barghava, an
MATC employee
whose lifework was as an advocate for students with disabilities. The award
was developed to recognize staff and faculty who demonstrate a special
understanding
for students with disabilities. In addition to this award, a scholarship also
is awarded in her name to a graduating student with a disability.
