2 environmental leaders on campus among Staff Merit Award recipients
IU will honor two of campus' environmental leaders with Staff Merit Awards: Michael Chitwood, property manager of the Research and Teaching Preserve, and Michelle Bartley-Taylor, director of the Center of Excellence for Women & Technology. Chitwood manages over 1,600 acres of natural preserves and mentored and guided dozens of students. Bartley-Taylor helped transform the idea for a sustainability and technology alliance into a thriving student program.
