University Press Operator Honored
February 4, 2010A long-time press operator at the University of West Alabama (UWA) was recently honored with the Support Staff Excellence Award. Tommy Hutchins, who joined the UWA staff in July 1996, was one of three employees recognized during a December board of trustees meeting. He received one of the university’s annual Loraine McIlwain Bell Trustee Awards.
Considered by his colleagues to be a “master craftsman” who works diligently to ensure the quality of UWA publications, Hutchins oversees production in the in-plant—everything from bindery operations to four-color process printing.
