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."
