Dacia Sandoval, Hutchins School of Liberal Arts

"After years of service in the Arts and Humanities Dean's Office, Dacia Sandoval stepped into the Administrative Coordinator (AC) position in the Hutchins School last year upon the retirement of Sue Foley. Hutchins runs multiple degree and General Education options with multiple tracks, and enrolls over 500 majors in "student centered" programs, thus requiring of the AC both highly developed administrative skills along with enormous interpersonal demands to serve students, faculty, administrators, parents, and alumni. Dacia has gone above and beyond in serving the Hutchins School, providing a smooth transition and enhanced efficiency from the first day she stepped into the position. A recent illustration of her commitment to service and enhancement of the university community was her tireless work on the Hutchins 40th anniversary (Oct. 16-18), a great success for the School and for outreach to university alumni. I cannot think of anyone more deserving of applause than Dacia Sandoval."

— Nominated by Eric McGuckin, Chair, Hutchins School of Liberal Studies
