In efforts to continually recognize excellence among the School of Nuclear Engineering employees, the award committee chaired by Prof. Hibiki and approved by the Head have created a new Exceptional Performance Award (EPA) to recognize extraordinary efforts from secretarial, administrative/professional, business office, and research staff of the School. The Exceptional Staff Performance Award recognizes strong commitment to supporting the School and its members.

This year the award committee are proud to present the EPA to Kellie Reece, Assistant to the Head of Nuclear Engineering, with an award plaque and accompanying $2,000 check. Her recent efforts during the School of Nuclear Engineering Advisory Board meeting were exceptional and beyond normal job expectations.

Kellie has been part of the School of Nuclear Engineering for the past six years. In addition to her duties to the Head, Kellie has been an excellent resource for faculty, staff, and students. She wears many hats in order to successfully complete necessary tasks at hand and always does that with a smile. Without a doubt, Kellie is there to help anyone who should need it. Her dedication to NE has been an important facet to the growth and success of the School. Please help us recognize Kellie for her excellence in administrative support and devotion to our esteemed program.
