UAAD Honors Moulton, Hug with Service Awards

The University Association for Administrative Development bestowed its top service awards to Faye Moulton, human resources, and Butch Hug, athletics, at a luncheon Feb. 17.

James Griesen, vice chancellor for student affairs, conferred the awards.

Moulton received the Floyd S. Oldt Award for Exceptional Service to the University. Hug received the Carl A. Donaldson Award for Excellence in Management.

The Oldt award recognizes an employee who devotes significant time and energy to the university, shows creativity and innovation, and unselfishly serves the university, UAAD and the community at large.

Moulton is director of employee relations and human resources outreach in the Department of Human Resources. During her 19 years at the university, she has developed and maintained several programs, including the UNL Mentoring Project. This project has involved more than 1,200 university employees who work to help each grow in their jobs and skills.

Other activities include work on a child care referral service on campus, design and implementation of a pilot project for the crisis leave program and establishment of the Super Seminar program to assist supervisors in developing leadership skills.

The Donaldson award recognizes excellence in management. Criteria for selection include communication and conflict resolution skills, promotion of teamwork, skills in planning, delegating and decision making and commitment to professional development.

Donaldson winner Hug is director of events in the Department of Athletics. Hug has worked in a number of positions since joining athletics in 1983 and is responsible for the scheduling of all competitions, practices and outside uses of athletic department facilities.

All of Hug's nominators commented on his excellent ability to plan, organize and coordinate many sporting events occurring in multiple locations at the same time. Another of his nominators quoted an ABC Sports representative as saying that he "wished that every stadium had a Butch Hug."

Other candidates for the Oldt Award were Brett Dietrich, a senior publications specialist in the publications and photography department, and Howard Parker, campus architect and director of facilities planning and construction.

Other finalists for the Donaldson Award were James Main, assistant vice chancellor for business and finance for university services, and Joanna Rogers, assistant to the dean of the law college.
