NMSU-A staff receive excellence awards
Steve Holmes and Dan Kammer, both with New Mexico State University Alamogordo, were selected as 2009 National Institute for Staff and Organization Development (NISOD) Excellence Award recipients. NISOD, a consortium of over 700 community colleges and universities worldwide, has a 30-year history of recognizing faculty, staff and administrators for outstanding contributions to teaching, leadership and learning.
Steve Holmes is a 1984 NMSU-A graduate and a 1990 Outstanding Graduate in Engineering from NMSU. He has taught 19 years at NMSU-A, and during this time has received the Roush, Outstanding Alumni and Outstanding Regular Faculty Awards. He has also been instrumental in expanding the Electronic Technologies Program (ET) at NMSU-A in the development of four additional components to ET - information technologies, biomedical, renewable energies and construction technology with electrical emphasis.
Dan Kammer, the director of the David Townsend Library at NMSU-A, brought his talent to NMSU-A in 2006. In addition to spearheading some major upgrades to the college library system, he has completely rebuilt the NMSU-A Web site and is the 'unofficial webmaster.' He is the vice president of the New Mexico Library Association and in April will step into the presidency slot.
