The University Graduate School would like to join IU in recognizing Linda Hostetter, Informatics, who will be receiving an IU Bloomington Staff Merit Award next week!
A celebration of their service to the university at the annual Staff Merit Award ceremony will be held at 3:30 p.m. on Monday, December 12, 2011 in the Frangipani Room at the Indiana Memorial Union.
These awards are given to staff members who have exhibited an extraordinary commitment to service, workplace innovation, and job performance. Six staff members receive the award each year. They were nominated by their departments and chosen by a committee of their peers. Linda was among the six chosen this year:
Linda Hostetter, Graduate Admission Coordinator, School of Informatics and Computing
An IU employee of over two decades, Linda has welcomed, nurtured, advised, and taken care of students from all over the world. With tremendous kindness and motherly wisdom, she has helped students (and sometimes faculty) negotiate the challenges of the academic world. In shepherding the many international students through the opportunities and tribulations of studying and living in a foreign country, Linda has not only made many grateful friends, but she has fundamentally contributed to their academic and personal success at IU.
