Desai! Each contributes in an outstanding way to the work and service of our Physics community. Due to the circumstances we find ourselves in, we are unable to recognize our winners in the usual fashion, but we encourage everyone to reach out with their best
wishes! </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<span style="font-family:TimesNewRomanPSMT">The other nominees were Lori Arnold, Tanya Ash, Kris Dunlap, and Alison Scott. We also thank them for their exceptional work in the Department! Finally, I want to thank the Physics Staff Advisory Committee (PSAC)
for once again coordinating the nomination process.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
