Seven University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill employees, including business manager Evelyn “Evie” McKee from the School of Public Health’s Department of Biostatistics, have been recognized for their outstanding contributions. Five received the Chancellor’s Award for Excellence; McKee and another employee received the Excellence in Management Award.

McKee, called a consummate professional by her colleagues, is responsible for research administration including effective allocation of resources and budgeting, and management of staff. Her efforts to proactively help colleagues obtain grant funding and keep them on schedule were noted.

“She provides incredible customer service to the research community,” said one nominator.

“Departmental managers connect the dots around here,” said Dave Potenziani, PhD, senior associate dean at the School of Public Health. “One person who does more than her share of making those connections is Evie McKee. She is respected by everyone across the School for her quiet professionalism and high degree of competence.”

The Excellence in Management Awards were established in 1998 to recognize accomplishments in management. Recipients receive a monetary award of $500 and a framed certificate. The other 2007 winner of the Excellence in Management Award was Joe Bray, applications specialist with (Information Technology Services) ITS.

This year’s five Chancellor’s Award recipients are:

  • Angkana Bode, facility architect in Facilities Services;
  • Betty Brown, acting director of outreach programs at the Morehead Planetarium and Science Center;
  • Virginia Carson, director of the Campus Y;
  • Bruce Egan, manager of the ITS Response Center; and
  • Donna Redmon, associate university registrar.

The Chancellor’s Awards were established in 1991 by Chancellor Emeritus Paul Hardin to recognize meritorious or distinguished contributions made by university employees in devotion to duty, innovation, public service, safety and heroism, human relations or other achievements. Recipients receive a monetary award of $1,000, a special leave award of 24 hours and a framed certificate, presented by Chancellor James Moeser.
