Inaugural Lone Pine Excellence Awards Recognize Staff

The winners of the Lone Pine Excellence Awards for 2018, including the Sheila Culbert Distinguished Employee Award, the College’s highest staff honor, were celebrated April 3 at an event at Alumni Hall in the Hopkins Center for the Arts.

This is the inaugural year for the Office of Human Resources’ Lone Pine Employee Recognition program, which established five new service awards for individuals and teams exemplifying Dartmouth’s commitment to excellence in the following categories: collaboration; passion and commitment; innovation; leadership; and unsung hero. The program also serves as the new home for the Culbert Award, which was previously announced during the annual employee service awards.
