Six earn prestigious Massey Awards for outstanding service at UNC-Chapel Hill
 
(Chapel Hill, N.C.— April 19, 2017) – Six employees at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have been selected by Chancellor Carol L. Folt to receive the 2017 C. Knox Massey Distinguished Service Awards, one of the most coveted distinctions earned by faculty and staff.

“The exemplary people recognized with the Massey Award help create the wonderful quality of life we experience at Carolina,” said Folt. “I thank each of the awardees for their extraordinary contributions to the Carolina Community. They put the heart and soul into what it means to serve others.”

The late C. Knox Massey of Durham created the awards in 1980 to recognize “unusual, meritorious or superior contributions” by University employees. In 1984, he joined the families of his son, Knox Massey Jr., and daughter, Kay Massey Weatherspoon, to create the Massey-Weatherspoon fund. Income from the fund supports the Massey Awards and Carolina Seminars. Due to endowment growth, the 2017 Massey Award winners will each receive a $10,000 stipend, an increase of $2,500 over previous years.

Chosen from campus-wide nominations, the Massey Award recipients will be honored at a luncheon hosted by Folt on April 22, where they will receive their stipend and an award citation. This year’s recipients are:

Allison Legge, interim registrar and senior associate director for enrollment and undergraduate admissions, Office of Undergraduate Admissions
San San Lwin, housekeeper, McIver Residence Hall/Kenan Community
Delmazine McAdoo, housekeeper, Connor Residence Hall/Connor Community
Sherry Salyer, teaching professor, director of undergraduate studies, Department of Exercise and Sport Science
Dave Stevens, senior associate dean of business and operations, Kenan-Flagler Business School
Charles Streeter, applications analyst, Student Affairs Information Technology, and Employee Forum chair
