    Year Ends on Award-Winning Notes


    Campus employees who have made major contributions to students' growth and development were recognized at the Student Affairs Division meeting on June 8 with the Margaret T. Getman awards. As a group they were selected for their high commitment to the quality of student life.
    The Getmans 2000-01 went to Ralph Armbruster-Sandoval, assistant professor of Chicano studies; Dr. Cynthia Bowers, director of the Student Health Service; Christine Iriart, undergraduate research and special programs coordinator with the College of Letters and Science; John C. Mitchell, admissions counselor with the Office of Relations with Schools; and Carol Mosely, coordinator of the Rape Prevention Education Program for the Women's Center.
    A new award, the William J. Villa Departmental Service to Students Award, went to Counseling and Career Services (CCS). It was established in honor of a former director of admissions and Getman awardee, Bill Villa, and recognizes "extraordinary service to students," said Mel Fabi, Goodspeed intern. CCS consistently demonstrated "an unprecedented team effort in approachability, flexibility, availability, and openness to innovation," he said.
    Top awards for students this year included: The Graduate Student Association's awards for outstanding teaching assistants and associate went to Carrie McDougall, ecology, evolution, and marine biology; Varun Soni, religious studies; Richard Sullivan, sociology; and Wendy Quinton, psychology.
    Erin Malia Fowler, psychology, will receive the Thomas More Storke Award, the top undergraduate honor at UCSB. Other graduating seniors receiving major awards are Courtney Rae Ross-Tait, molecular, cellular, and developmental biology, for the Jeremy D. Friedman Memorial Award, and Debra Lynn Jones, black studies and sociology, for the Alyce Whitted Memorial Award.
    The 2000 City Club Prize totaling $56,000, the most lucrative award given to graduating seniors, was divided among seven women who excelled academically in social sciences: Rachel Kushner, communication; Koali Thorne, communication; Erin Chase, anthropology; China Shelton, anthropology and art history; Courtney Chai, law and society and psychology; Tara Winger, economics; and Monica Rivas, sociology.
