Audrey Sillers wins 2022 BSA Excellence in Management Award

Audrey Sillers, the EECS Director of Student Diversity, has won a Berkeley Staff Assembly (BSA) 2022 Excellence in Management (EIM) Award.  This award “honors exemplary non-academic managers and supervisors who have led their teams and team members to meaningful accomplishments this past year.”  The 2022 theme, building and maintaining community, highlights leaders “who demonstrate and encourage flexibility, adaptiveness, supportiveness, compassion, understanding, work-life balance, and well-being.” Sillers, who was nominated by her team, will be honored at a live-streamed ceremony on May 3rd. “Audrey exemplifies so many of the UC Berkeley Principles of Community, not in a self-conscious way, but just in the way that she operates in the world as a person,” said one of her coworkers.  “Audrey’s passion for diversity and her openness to her staff developing their own capacities to do better work as advisors to a very diverse student population has been inspirational. Having such a supervisor makes a tremendous difference.”
