Gary Pedersen receives UW Distinguished Staff Award

Gary Pedersen, the recently-appointed Executive Director of the Department of Chemistry, has received a 2006 Distinguished Staff Award from the University of Washington. Pedersen was one of two staff members from the College of Arts and Sciences to receive an award, which “recognizes staff who contribute to the mission of their unit or the University, respond creatively to challenges, maintain the highest standards in their work, establish productive working relationships, and promote a respectful and supportive workplace.” Pedersen, who was Administrator in Chemistry from 1987-2000, has recently returned to the Department of Chemistry after spending several years in the College of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences, and we are happy to have him back.
