Crimson Spirit Award - Joy Sherman
 |
| Joy Sherman |
Joy Sherman, administrative specialist in the Office of Advancement, is first a team player, going beyond her normal duties whenever it is needed. She performs her duties "with her brilliant mind, her active physical body and her loving heart," wrote her nominator, Sandee Kirby, director of the President’s Cabinet and assistant to the Vice President for Advancement.
Kirby praises Sherman for two main characteristics: "She always follows the Golden Rule, and she exemplifies her name - Joy!" wrote Kirby.

Three UA Press titles have been chosen for inclusion on the annual Outstanding Academic Title list published by Choice, a division of the American Library Association.
"Extraordinary Measures: Afrocentric Modernism and Twentieth-Century American Poetry" by Lorenzo Thomas; "Montgomery in the Good War: Portrait of a Southern City, 1939-1946" by Wesley Phillips Newton; and "Fitzgerald, Hemingway, and the Twenties" by Ronald Berman appear on the list published in the January 2002 issue of Choice Magazine.
Approximately
600 books and electronic resources out of 6,600 titles reviewed were chosen
for this year’s honor. More than 23,000 titles were submitted to Choice
for review. The titles are selected for their excellence in scholarship
and presentation, the significance of their contribution to the field,
and for their value as important treatment of a specific subject. The
list represents only a select group of publishers.
