EASTON,
Pa.(www.lafayette.edu), May 6, 2004 — Students, faculty, staff,
administrators, and community members who have made outstanding contributions
to Lafayette and the community were honored Sunday at the annual Aaron

efforts: Allison Quensen Blatt, Williams Center operations director,
and Michael McFadden ’04, a double major in English and economics
& business.
Staff Member of the Year, given to a staff member who has served the
Lafayette community beyond his/her job description, and has been courteous
and involved in campus life: Maria V. Rush, secretary of chemical and
mechanical engineering; Carol J. Donnelly, secretary, office
of the cultural program; and Joel Hill, Farinon Center custodian.
