Residence Life Lands Roving Griz Award

UM's Roving Griz Award
recognizes campus
departments that have excelled, going above and
beyond the call of duty. On May 6 the award
went to the
Residence Life Office. The award was
presented by
Counseling and Psychological Services, the last
Roving Griz recipient. Each department holds
on to the
award for several months before voting on the
next
hard-working unit to receive the wooden grizzly
statue.
The award changed hands during a ceremony in the
Turner Hall Dell Brown Room, which was packed
because Residence Life shared the honor with
members of Facilities Services, who work hard to
maintain UM's residence halls and housing units.
A letter from Counseling and Psychological
Services
accompanying the award noted, "This award
recognizes departments for their efforts and
commitment to UM's Quality of Worklife
Initiative, an
area in which your department plainly excels.
Over the
years, Residence Life has created a respectful,
supportive atmosphere for employees, one
in which colleagues support one another in a
family-like atmosphere in which doors are always
open, all the way to the top."
