Service Award from UArizona

I earned a pretty hefty honor last Friday -- the SBS Outstanding Service award . As you might imagine, this is an award for service above and beyond the call of duty, and it's especially meaningful because it's college-wide, not departmental. Particularly with how nasty the last academic year has gone, with contentious in-fighting concerning such basic concepts as labor equity in teaching loads, sort of recognition from the university means a lot. Anyway, since I put excessive time and energy into crafting this self-nomination letter, I'm sharing with you all.
