Faculty/Sta Awards

FACULTY & STAFF AWARDS

| by Elizabeth R. Pearce ’87, Chief Development O cer

The end of the school year at Lovett brings all sorts of milestones and traditions. One such important tradition occurs after the students are gone from campus and summer is upon us: the faculty and sta come together to celebrate each other as well as another successful year in the books. The faculty/sta awards ceremony is a special event—one that we are fortunate to have—because throughout the years, generous donors have created named, endowed awards to celebrate our employees. These donors understand the importance of recognizing excellence, passion, and dedication in our teachers and sta and their gifts allow us to do just that.

Of course, the 2019-20 school year unfolded in a unique way. Never has our community been so important to us, and we realized it would be hard to single out 15 or so people to honor with these awards. So many individuals have gone over and above, even more than usual. We reached out to all donors with named, endowed awards and asked if they would allow Lovett to pool the proceeds of each endowment (for this year only) so that we could recognize all employees for their hard work and commitment to the Lovett mission.

All donors overwhelmingly agreed that giving an award to all permanent employees this year was the right thing to do. Lovett is fortunate to have friends who not only understand the hard work that happens on campus (or virtually) every day, but who are flexible and committed to doing what is right.

A huge thank you to all of our endowed award donors, listed below:
