Talent & Inclusion is honored to announce the winners of this year’s Board of Trustees Outstanding Staff Awards: Matt Barry, Associate Director of Student Development & Counseling and Nicole Caligiuri, Grants Specialist II in the Office of Sponsored Programs. Both were recognized for their passionate pursuit of excellence, for building community, and for inspiring others through their actions.

Matt and Nicole were among 28 WPI staff members across campus to be nominated this year by faculty, staff, graduate students, and undergraduates. The nominees were invited to a luncheon with the Board of Trustees on May 12th, where Trustees, Board Chair Bill Fitzgerald, President Grace Wang, and SVP Talent & Inclusion and CDO Lauren Turner celebrated their contributions and announced the names of the winners.

We wish to thank this year’s selection committee for their work in support of these awards: Bill Battelle, Campus Planning & Facilities Management; Colleen Callahan-Panday, International Student Life; Jennifer Cluett, Undergraduate Enrollment; Karen Confer, Campus/Public Safety; and Richard Song, Talent & Inclusion.

We congratulate Matt and Nicole on their achievements, and we thank all the nominees for their dedication and service to WPI.
