Richard Sutherland, right, and Chancellor Larry Vanderhoef, middle in background, congratulate psychology staff members Barbara Scoggins, left, and Tracey Pereida for receiving a Citation for Excellence Team Award for their general contributions to campus. More than 70 staff were recognized for their accomplishments individually and as members of teams during the May 5 reception at the Chancellor's Residence. "There is an enormous number of people at this university who do great things within their job descriptions," said Sutherland, chair of UC Davis Staff Assembly's Citations for Excellence committee. "We were looking for those who go above and beyond." Citations were given for general contributions, campus service and supervision. Honorees received further tribute during the TGFS picnic.
