Recognition

In this Recognition section, we are pleased to recognize two UCF employees – Cynthia Pugsley, Accreditation Manager for the UCF Police Department, and Meghan McCollum, Assistant Controller for Finance & Accounting.

On June 26, 2019, Cynthia Pugsley was recognized as the Accreditation Manager of the Year by the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation. Thank you to Cynthia for all her hard work for the UCF Police Department. The UCF Police Department also received their re-accreditation certificate during the same ceremony.

Meghan McCollum spearheaded a project, with the assistance of Dave Edyburn, former Associate Dean for Faculty and Development at the College of Education, to automate worker classification decisions by developing an online tool which has saved the university time and money. Dr. Edyburn graciously volunteered his time to help move the tool out of Excel and into an online questionnaire that further reduced the number of questions that a respondent had to answer.  By answering a series of questions that takes approximately five minutes to complete, the employee will immediately be provided with a worker classification determination. This determination can be provided to Office of the General Counsel as part of their contract review process. The following is a link to the automated questionnaire. https://finacctg.fa.ucf.edu/fa/tax/awq/index.html

If you see someone doing the right thing, write to us and tell us about it. Who knows, maybe they will be featured in our next IntegrityStar edition.
