We are pleased to announce that Pat Gentino, Operations and Compliance Officer for I-TECH, was selected as the 2015 Department of Global Health Outstanding Staff as part of the School of Public Health (SPH) Awards. This year we had a fantastic response to our call for nominees with 10 truly outstanding nominations. A small committee of two staff and one faculty member made the very difficult decision.

Pat was nominated for her work with teams of staff and faculty overseas as part of the International Training and Education Center for Health (I-TECH). Her nomination included this quote, “She is someone who volunteers whenever she can and definitely whenever she views it as her responsibility. Her communication is outstanding in all ways. When her assignments have changed over the years, those who were working with her tried to negotiate keeping her assigned to their respective countries/programs because she is such an outstanding team member.”

Pat will be honored at the SPH Awards Ceremony at the Urban Horticulture Center on May 15 at 3:00 p.m. Please join us in elebrating excellence in our community.
