Linda Stoetzer and Gary Clambey share this year’s College of Science and Mathematics Service Award.
Stoetzer, account technician in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, was nominated by Greg Cook, professor and department chair. “She is an outstanding staff member who can be completely and consistently relied upon to complete any task assigned to her and she has been performing her duties for 40 years,” Cook wrote, noting he could not imagine the department functioning without her. “Linda’s service to the department, college and university is extraordinary. She will be sorely missed if and when she ever decides to retire.”
Clambey, associate professor of biological sciences, has a long history of participation in campus committees and groups. He has chaired and served on several search committees, served 14 years on the Curriculum Committee and was a member of the Promotion, Tenure and Evaluation Committee. Also a member of the department’s Self Study Committee for regional accreditation, Clambey has received many honors, including the Odney Award, Blue Key Distinguished Educator, the college’s Excellence in Teaching Award and Mortar Board Preferred Professor.
“In his 35 years at NDSU, none of us is aware of a single instance when he was asked to do something for students or his department, college or university that he did not say yes,” wrote 15 colleagues in the biological sciences department in a letter of nomination. “Given his long and distinguished record of service, Gary Clambey epitomizes the embodiment of this award.”
