Chris Landt Receives Carl Faubion Award
New Mexico State University Library employee Christopher Landt recently received the first-ever Carl Faubion Outstanding Library Staff Employee of the Year Award in a ceremony at Zuhl Library.
Landt, an exempt employee in the Library's Systems Department, was honored for his accomplishments as a member of the photocopier replacement project task force.
Systems Department Head Carol Boyse said, "Thanks to Chris's diligence, creativity and dedication, the Library enjoyed a smooth transition to the new copiers. Users are pleased with the quality of the machines and the flexibility of payment options, and the Library Administration is pleased with the savings in cost."
The Carl Faubion Award is presented annually to an exempt or non-exempt NMSU Library employee who exemplifies excellence in customer service, exceptional contributions to the library, innovation and creative thinking in problem solving, or contributions which have reduced operating costs or resulted in administrative efficiencies.
The award was made possible by former NMSU President James E. Halligan and Mrs. Ann E. Halligan, who established the Carl Faubion Memorial Endowment for the NMSU Library in 2007. The endowment was established in memory of Carl Faubion, Mesilla Valley farmer and former NMSU regent, who passed away on October 29, 2005.
