Suzanne Lance, Assistant Director of the New York State Writers Institute, will receive two awards this week: the 2011 UAlbany President's Excellence Award for Professional Service and the 2011 SUNY Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Professional Service.
According to the guidelines for the UAlbany Excellence Awards, "Nominees for the award must be individuals who have repeatedly sought improvement of themselves, their campuses—and by extension or through direct service—the State University and, in doing so, have transcended the normal definitions of excellence." The award will be given today in the Campus Center Ballroom.
The Chancellor's Awards for Excellence are "System-level honors conferred to acknowledge and provide system-wide recognition for consistently superior professional achievement and to encourage the ongoing pursuit of excellence." The Chancellor's Award will be given Friday in the President's Office.
