UT PGE is pleased to announce Arletta Tompkins, the department’s long-standing undergraduate academic advising coordinator, has been awarded the University’s Outstanding Staff Award. The award honors staff members who have a significant impact on the university and demonstrate a commitment to the university’s core purpose and values.
The Outstanding Staff Award is given to just 30 staff members in the UT Austin community each year. Tompkins, who received her 20-year service certificate in early 2013, is well known in the UT PGE community for her willingness and dedication to help students succeed in their academic careers.
This award is one of three that Tompkins has received within the past year. In the fall, she received the prestigious Tany Norwood Award by the UT Austin Friar Society. Tompkins also accepted the PGE Department’s Staff Excellence Award in 2013.
“Arletta is an outstanding ‘mother’ to our undergraduates, many of whom say they would not have made it through college if it had not been for her,” said Sandy Taylor, UT PGE executive assistant. “We are extremely pleased that Arletta’s service and dedication to our students is being justly rewarded.”
Tompkins will receive the award at the President’s Staff Awards ceremony on Wednesday, May 7, 2014 at 10 a.m. in the Lady Bird Johnson Auditorium at the LBJ Museum and Library.
