Library employee receives Chancellor’s Honor Award

Steve Milewski, library supervisor of the Media Services unit, was honored on April 11th at the Chancellor’s Honors banquet with the Extraordinary Service to the University award.

Steve joined Media Services in 1986 as a student assistant, and returned to school in 1988, taking undergraduate courses while working full time. He completed a BA in history in 2001, and graduated with an MS in information science in 2006.

Media Services oversees more than 11,000 titles in VHS, DVD and laserdisc, which are viewed by more than 107,000 students and faculty each year.

Steve’s commitment to the university leads to the smooth functioning of his unit, which is central to the cinema studies program and vital to the faculty members who make use of audio-visual materials in their teaching.

The Chancellor’s Honors Banquet is held each spring to recognize students, faculty, staff and friends of the university for their extraordinary achievements.

The 2007 ceremony was held April 11 at the University Center. More than 200 students, faculty, staff and organizations were honored.
