ATLAS Employee Awards
First 'ATLAS Award' Given to
Technical Manager Bret Mann
Bret Mann, who is the technical manager of the ATLAS Institute, is the first recipient of the ATLAS Award, which will be given annually "to the person who shoulders a heavy burden for ATLAS."
Bret has helped design, implement, maintain and manage all of ATLAS' technical operations, including the Black Box Theatre, production studios, the 150-seat distance-learning equipped auditorium and the video wall.
Rebekah West, who is Bret's supervisor, consistently credits Bret with the success of the ATLAS Center for Arts, Media & Performance events. She notes Bret's can-do attitude and willingness to work long hours to ensure that all of the technologies function properly. Bret also spends countless hours ensuring that the students who work with the technology have an in-depth understanding of its complexity.
The award, which consists of a marble, brass and glass statute, was presented to Bret on April 30.
Bret also was recently nominated as the Chancellor's Employee of the Year.
Rebecca Rowley Receives First
ATLAS 'Titan of the Quarter' Award
Rebecca Rowley, who as an ATLAS administrative assistant is the first point of contact for all who visit the ATLAS administration offices, has been awarded the first ATLAS Titan of the Quarter Award.
"She always goes above and beyond in the assignments she is given," said Lulu Davis, ATLAS assistant to the director. "She is able to manage a number of tasks and be interrupted multiple times and is able to handle it all with grace and professionalism. She also has a wonderful sense of humor and enjoys playing harmless practical jokes on her colleagues."
Rebecca, who joined ATLAS in June 2007, also is the assistant building proctor and program coordinator for the ATLAS Ph.D. program.
The native Coloradoan's duties include scheduling events and maintaining room calendars; electronic security managment; receiving and delegating building maintenance requests; receiving and processing Ph.D. applications and assisting prospective students; supervising ATLAS student workers; and she also acts as the liason for telecom services and parking services.
