SCUP Distinguished Service Award—
Recognizing exceptional contributions to the activities and success of the Society for College and University Planning (SCUP)

The University of Delaware in Newark, DE, also is a recipient of the 2005 SCUP Distinguished Service Award for its generous and longstanding support of the society at many levels. Their contributions include: a) supporting their institutional members in volunteer leadership to SCUP as presidents, committee chairs, faculty, and academy conveners, b) serving as the site for SCUP’s Mid-Atlantic regional conference, c) providing production studios and expertise in producing SCUP’s satellite telecasts, d) contributing institutional research support with evaluations and surveys, and e) continuously sharing experience with other members through conference presentations, journal articles, and curriculum planning. Behind every great university are the people who make things happen and contribute to the prestige and excellence of the institution. The University of Delaware is no exception. David E. Hollowell, a past president of SCUP, has individually received the Distinguished Service Award. He led SCUP’s strategic planning effort in 1994–1995 and was instrumental in the creation of an executive director position at SCUP. He also helped the organization create its first web site. He has been a presenter, author, committee member, and academy member. Michael F. Middaugh, incoming SCUP president, has been a workshop presenter, author, committee member, and academy member. His office at the university is analyzing SCUP’s 2005 Campus Facilities Inventory (CFI) data and assisting in preparation of the survey report. While at the University of Delaware, Karen Bauer served on SCUP’s Board of Directors, chaired the Professional Development Committee, helped design and launch the SCUP Planning Institute, and served on several committees. Margaret A. McDermott also is a past recipient of the Distinguished Service Award as a member of the Space Management Team. She is a member of the Professional Development Committee Needs Assessment Task Force, Awards Committee, and is helping with the 2005 CFI project. As is perhaps already obvious, the university can be characterized as a place that is consistently willing to commit their time, efforts, and emotional energy to further the educational mission that defines the Society for College and University Planning. Congratulations and our sincere appreciation to the university and its higher education community.
