Morningside President John Reynders presented the awards at the annual holiday and recognition banquet held Dec. 19 in the Olsen Student Center on Morningside’s campus. Award recipients each receive a $4,000 bonus. As employee of the year, Williams receives $5,000.

Recipients were selected based upon their demonstration of outstanding dedication, service and commitment to Morningside and its students during the 2014-15 academic year.

Funding for the annual awards comes from an endowment established by Margaret Thompson, wife of the late Thomas S. Thompson, who served as president of Morningside from 1969 to 1978.
