Inspire Award recipient George H. Jones, Sr., could not be at the Sept. 16 Awards Ceremony because he was faithfully working to ensure everything was in place at Memorial Hall where the DSU Presidential Inauguration was taking place the next morning.
Mrs. Cecelia B. Dunning, financial data analyst, Office of the Provost/Academic Affairs
An employee of DSU for more than 35 years and an alumna of DSU, Ms. Dunning has been a faithful source of guidance for 15 different incoming provosts and vice presidents of Academic Affairs, educating and orienting them in issues pertaining to hiring, employment contracts, as well as the administrative side of the academic calendar year. She is a reliable source of information for all segments of the DSU community. “A wealth of knowledge and generosity, she is an inspiration because she illuminates the space she occupies, in her own kind and regal manner,” according to the committee.
Ms. Dianne R. Scott, administrative secretary to the dean, College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences
A five-year employee and a DSU alumna, Ms. Scott truly embodies what perseverance means. Despite having a disability that requires her to use a walker, she has distinguished herself as a student and is close to completing her degree. She has also made her mark at this institution as a valuable administrative assistant who represents her office with outstanding customer service skills, conscientious work ethic and a wealth of knowledge. Ms. Scott motivates others by her example of “pushing past biases about disabilities and physical limitations, and tapping into a deeper sense of personal strength,” according to the committee.
Mr. George H. Jones Sr., grounds and general services supervisor, Department of Facilities
A 21- year employees, Mr. Jones has a pleasant demeanor and a quiet leadership quality that makes him a well-respected supervisor. He employs a level of thoughtfulness and conscientious skill that puts a non-technical person at ease when facing logistical challenges.“While others might be tempted to cut corners on doing the job right… he holds his people accountable to themselves by displaying a high level of integrity as a team leader,” according to the committee.
In addition, a special Inspire Award was presented by Dr. Claibourne Smith to DSU President Harry Lee Williams, recognizing him for the inspirational enthusiasm he has injected into the campus during the first year of his tenure.
The Inspire Award Committee was comprised of DSU staff members Brenda Farmer, Terry Blaha, Vanessa Nesbit and Irene Hawkins.
