The staff of the Department of Mechanical Engineering has always been highly regarded by students, faculty, and University administration, and it showed at the 2016 Whiting School Staff Appreciation Luncheon. Of the 26 Whiting School Staff Excellence Awards nominees from throughout the school, five of them were from Mechanical Engineering and a sixth is a former staff member.

We congratulate the Mechanical Engineering nominees:

– Jess Ader, Modern Media Coordinator
– Mike Bernard, Academic Program Manager
– Marty Devaney, Administrator
– Cindy Larichiuta, Administrative Coordinator
– Alison Wampler, Research Service Manager

Lorrie Dodd, former Sr. Research Service Analyst in Mechanical Engineering and now the Administrative Manager for the Laboratory for Computational Sensing and Robotics, was also nominated.

We are pleased to announce that all three of this year’s Excellence Awards were given to current or former Mechanical Engineering staff! Jess Ader, Mike Bernard, and Lorrie Dodd received 2016 Whiting School Staff Excellence Awards for “distinguished recognition of their hard work, devotion, and commitment to excellence.”
