Recognition for Dartmouth faculty, staff and students

RICK ADAMS, director of publications in the Office of Public Affairs, received the inaugural Maggie Cup from the Dartmouth ski team. The award was established this year on the retirement of Maggie Sullivan to recognize her years of dedicated service as the ski team's administrative assistant. It will be given periodically to honor a ski team supporter whose dedication, generosity of spirit, contribution of time and talent, and love of the sport exemplify the values and tradition of the Dartmouth Ski Team. Adams was chosen for long-time dedication to assisting the team with publicity efforts and media relations. Cami Thompson, director of skiing, says, "Rick has encouraged us to do more, and to do it better. We are happy to have a way to show him how much we appreciate what he does for us."

NARATH CARLILE, a second-year Dartmouth Medical School student, received an American Medical Association (AMA) Foundation 2007 Leadership Award. The awards are given for outstanding leadership skills in advocacy, community service and/or education. In addition to his studies, Carlile is active at DMS on several fronts. As an Albert Schweitzer fellow, he works with sleep disorder patients, and was also curriculum representative for his class. Carlile is a DMS student presentation to the Institute for Healthcare Improvement and is a DMS representative for ImproveHealthcare.org, an organization of medical schools working to promote quality improvement.

LAURA CARTER, associate editor of Dartmouth Medicine magazine since 1999, was chosen as a fellow by the New York Times Company Foundation's Institute for Journalists. She and a small number of other journalists attended a conference, Cells and Souls: The Science, Politics, and Ethics of Embryonic Stem Cell Research, May 10 through 14 at New York University. The Times each year funds a series of journalistic institutes-immersion courses on complex topics at the cutting edge of the news. Carter was the only institutional journalist chosen in the competitive application process for the fellowship.

THE DARTMOUTH MEDICAL SCHOOL/DARTMOUTH HITCHCOCK MEDICAL CENTER OFFICE OF DEVELOPMENT COMMUNICATIONS won two national awards in the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) 2007 Awards for Excellence Competition. SANDRA ADAMS, director of Development Communications, and BARBARA MASTELLER, assistant director, accepted the awards for material they developed in support of the DMS/DHMC Transforming Medicine Campaign. The material—including the case statement, special gift opportunity brochures with mini-CD, and an interactive CD and campaign video—received AAMC's highest honor in the Premier Performance Category. The Campaign Interactive CD also earned highest honors in the Electronic Communication Category.

THE HOPKINS CENTER DESIGN STUDIO, comprised of designer SARA MORIN, manager, and LAURA GREY '02, graphic designer, received eight 2007 American Inhouse Design Awards from Graphic Design USA. Awards were received for publicity pieces for the Hopkins Center 2006-2007 Season Brochure; Dartmouth Film Society Mira Nair Tribute; Dartmouth Dance Class 2006-2007 season; October 2006 performance of The Ugly American by Mike Daisey; January 2007 performance of Steven Petronio Company; July 2006 performance of Tree Song by Eiko & Koma; February 2007 Dartmouth Chamber Singers; and the spring 2006 Dartmouth Film Society series Aural Pleasure. Morin and Grey are also founding members of the local chapter of AIGA, a professional design consortium.

NANCY WRAY, director of the Office of Sponsored Projects, is the first recipient of the National Council of University Research Administrators' (NCURA) Region I Distinguished Service Award. The annual award recognizes research administrators who have made a significant contribution to the field of research administration or to the NCURA. Wray has been in the Office of Sponsored Projects at Dartmouth since 1981 and has been director since the early 2000s. She is currently chair of the Federal Demonstration Partnership, an association of federal agencies, academic research institutions with administrative, faculty, and technical representation, and research policy organizations that work to streamline the administration of federally sponsored research.

A team of Dartmouth undergraduates took first prize at the National Intercollegiate Business Ethics Competition, held in April at the Center for Ethics and Business at Loyola Marymount University. The Dartmouth team—EZRA D. TZFADYA '07, TATYANA LISKOVICH '08, SAMANTHA A. MANDEL '10, G. EMILY GHODS-ESFAHANI '09, and NIKHIL JAIN '09—bested 33 other teams for their presentation on the legal, financial, and ethical dimensions of the scandal at Hewlett Packard, in which senior management monitored the private phone records of HP board members. AINE DONOVAN, executive director of the Ethics Institute, served as the team's faculty advisor.
