After years of hard work, Biology lab technician Melanie Kegley was recently honored by Raymond Walters College with the 2006 Distinguished Staff Award. “It was a very humbling experience,” said Melanie. “The ceremony itself was simply awesome.” The award came as a big surprise to her because she didn’t even know that she had been nominated. The best thing about winning the award for her was the congratulatory remarks and compliments given by her peers the next day.
In fact some people were surprised that she hadn’t won it already. Melanie thanks the people she works with. “This award is as much theirs as it is mine,” she claims because she “couldn’t have done it without their support.”
In particular she wants to thank Nicole Dadabo and Kenny Limber.
