November STAR Award Recipient
Dean Gatz |
Design Associate Dean Gatz, the November STAR recipient, has stepped up to the plate in University Relations. Following the retirement of the printing technician, Gatz quickly learned how to procure printing estimates, work with printing vendors and coordinate such efforts with university purchasing staff. Dean’s typical day used to include designing brochures, posters and other projects. “He suddenly found himself on the phone for hours each week, faxing out printing specs and meeting with vendors and clients,” said Natalie Johnson, interim director of University Relations, who nominated Dean for this award. “He had to make a total right brain to left brain switch in order to perform all his additional duties.” |
