2008 Biostatistics Staff Awards
The Department of Biostatistics recently recognized staff members for achievements during the year through the Star Heels awards program. This program, sponsored by TIAA-CREF, allows departments to award a $25 gift certificate to a deserving employee. The following employees are our Star Heels winners: Deborah Marean (SRU), Jeff Oberhaus (CSCC), and Pingping Wu (CSCC). James Locklear (CSCC), Applications Specialist, was presented the Staff Award of Excellence by Dr. Michael R. Kosorok, Chair and Professor of Biostatistics. James has devoted over 20 years of service to the department, the majority of the time spent at the CSCC. He currently works at the CSCC as a SAS programmer and team leader in an Applications Specialist role in the statistical computing (SC) group. Over the years, James has been a very skilled team leader for the statistical computing effort on many of the CSCC’s studies, including ACAS, VISP, FAVORIT, TAAG, and the Hispanic Community Health Study. The programs he has helped design, and in many cases coded himself, are used as templates for similar programs needed across CSCC studies. Pictured above (left to right) are: Pingping Wu, James Locklear, Dr. Michael Kosorok, Jeff Oberhaus, and Deborah Marean.
