The Ron Taylor Award, named after a chief executive officer of DeVry Inc, is an annual award that goes to DeVry or Ross
University employees who have gone above and beyond their normal job
function while still completing all required duties of their position.
The award goes to those who have truly exceeded performance
expectations for the year.
"The Ron Taylor Award is one of DeVry’s highest employee
recognition awards. As our longest Bahamian employee, Mary has consistently gone
above and beyond the responsibilities of her job to provide outstanding service
to the entire Ross community. She is always willing to do whatever
possible for the benefit of our staff and students, without having to be
asked. She has also been instrumental in helping us get to know many
people in this community. This is a recognition she richly deserves," said Sandi Cutler, Vice President Planning and Business Development.
When asked how she felt about receiving the award, Mary Cooper had this to say
, "I was totally shocked; but at the same time I was humbled
and appreciative of being chosen for the award, especially now during my first
year with Ross University. The experience, along with the leadership team here at Ross are
second to none; and it is a good feeling to know that your hard work is
appreciated by your employer. The award will actually motivate me to work
harder (if that is possible). I truly enjoy working with the university and
look forward to growing professionally as well as personally as the
university grows.”
