2022 A. Jane Morton Award

December 13, 2021

Each year an honoree for this award is selected from a group of nominated active full-time exempt and non-exempt staff personnel who have been university employees for at least five years. The award recognizes a continual demonstration of outstanding efforts of one person to all segments of the university community.  
 
A. Jane Morton was employed by the Office of Academic Research and Sponsored Programs (now the Sponsored Projects Administration) for 25 years. Jane was more than dedicated to her job responsibilities, had extensive knowledge of virtually all the academic disciplines on campus, and was active in numerous Ball State organizations. Jane developed a format for an in-service training program for new employees; helped revise the Secretarial Procedures Handbook; was concerned with salary and employee benefits of staff personnel; was involved in church activities; and volunteered many hours to WIPB and Ball Memorial Hospital. Her legacy to Ball State University is an award that annually recognizes one active staff employee for best emulating Jane’s expectations of excellence through service.  
 
This year the award will be presented to the winner at a small reception at a date to be determined. The A. Jane Morton award honoree will receive a framed and engraved print and a monetary award of $1000.   
 
If you know someone like Jane and would like to see this person honored by the university and their peers, please submit your nomination. Any university employee (co-workers, supervisor, faculty, or retiree) may nominate an eligible staff member for this award.  
 
The nomination form can be found here.
