CAS Outstanding Service Award Winner
Andrew Vigue, Assistant Director of Reservations and Events, has been awarded the 2023 CAS Outstanding Service Award. We celebrated this honor with him at a May 15th reception held on the Warren Alpert Mall/BU Beach.
Each year, CAS seeks to recognize staff members who have made significant contributions to their academic unit, the College, and the University. While these awards are generally given to CAS staff, they also seek out a campus partner who works outside of CAS, but who nevertheless partners with CAS to achieve larger goals. It was clear to an awards review committee that Andrew’s ongoing work to support CAS staff members in their management of events and their request for reservations has been invaluable and greatly appreciated.
The below citation for Andrew was read by Daryl Healea, CAS Assistant Dean for Curriculum & Enrollment Services.
Seeing a need to assist offices in the College in accomplishing their event-planning goals, Andrew has arranged and administered training sessions on Zoom multiple times a semester on the topic of room reservations and navigating 25Live (both for beginner and advanced levels). His presentations are thorough, clear, and lively.
One nominator notes how Andrew would anticipate the needs and requests of CAS offices. “Without fail, Andrew reserved a suite of rooms for [my] department a year in advance without my asking. In another situation, a room was accidentally double-booked for a yearbook photoshoot, but Andrew swiftly coordinated a last-minute takedown of the photographer’s setup and repurposed it for my reservation.”
It is exciting to see this much-deserved recognition bestowed upon Andrew. Events & Conferences is very proud to have him as part of our team and congratulate him on this honor.
