Susan L. Conrad, the office manager for the Department of Journalism in the College of Media, received the Bess G. Matteson Award at a Nov. 15 luncheon. The Secretariat, an on-campus organization comprised of U. of I. staff members in certain civil services classifications, makes the award.  

The award honors a retiring staff member who served as an elected officer of the organization, served on its executive board for at least five years, made an outstanding contribution to a campus committee and made a major contribution to the improvement of life as a civil service employee. Employees who receive the award must have worked for 15 years or more with the university. The award has been given only nine times since its creation in 1978.
