Congratulations to Ingrid Hendrix, Kelleen Maluski, and Jonathan Pringle, winners of HSLIC’s 2022 Annual Employee Recognition Awards!
Ingrid Hendrix – Outstanding Performance
“Ingrid began overseeing RECIS at an extremely difficult time as the pandemic was just beginning and the department was short staffed. She worked to get us through those first uncertain months and in the past year has committed herself even more to us going above and beyond while still maintaining a need for work/life balance. In addition to this Ingrid has tirelessly worked to make sure that all members of HSLIC are included in the execution of projects and our daily work, she is always concerned with making sure her employees are supported and taken care of, and she is working to usher in new programming and ideas to help expand on the already robust services that we offer.”
Kelleen Maluski – Outstanding Performance
“This past year introduced HSLIC to the newly-formed Justice, Equity, and Inclusion (JEI) Committee. Kelleen assumed leadership of this group and worked collaboratively to develop goals, organizational structure, and (significantly) a budget. She assembled a diverse and engaged team of people from across UNM to help position HSLIC as a unit that not only talks about diversity, but actively promotes inclusion through its events and trainings.”
“Kelleen assumed the position of Student Engagement Librarian when there was no precedent at HSLIC for that role. She brought extensive experience from previous positions and, not too many years later, she is recognized and appreciated as students' "go-to" person for support in their learning activities. She demonstrates compassion for the challenges students have and has incorporated coping with those challenges in the education programs she offers.”
Jonathan Pringle – Outstanding Project
“Jonathan has shown excellence in his work on the Native Health Database (NHD). While this project has been several years in the making, 2021 saw it come to fruition as Jonathan officially secured the funding from the NNLM, hired a project assistant, and began metadata and record migration to the new Mukurtu platform.”
“Jonathan is truly dedicated to making the NHD a database that incorporates cultural humility and works to disrupt the colonization of education and health sciences spaces. His work will make the NHD a truly collaborative space for years to come and helps to correct injustices that have been done in the past.”
