Karen Austin wins first Employee Incentive Award

Karen Austin, technical services manager at Lyon, was presented with the first Lyon College Employee Incentive Award at a Management Assembly meeting Tuesday. Karl Kemp, director of information services and president of the Management Assembly, made the presentation. The Employee Incentive Award was established to recognize the efforts of employees that go beyond their assigned duties. Mrs. Austin was recognized for reconditioning about 20 personal computers for students in the APPLE program; assisting staff, students, and faculty with purchasing and troubleshooting their personal computers; assisting members of the community with technical support; repairing computers on campus to save the College money that would otherwise be spent for outside service; and providing training to students. Mrs. Austin received the $100 award and a framed certificate.

Kelly Schafer and Warren McCullough hug after being named Homecoming Queen and King during homecoming festivities Saturday in Becknell Gymnasium. Schafer and McCullough were selected for the honor by their fellow students. Making the announcement were Mr. and Ms. Lyon College, Stuart Higginbotham and Maria Kaloghirou.

Dr. Walter Roettger welcomes prospective students, parents and Business Advisory Board members to Lyon Fellows Days Friday.
