Three receive Alumni Association's top honors


Three people committed to enriching the lives of others have won the top awards given annually by UCSC's Alumni Association.

Marge Frantz (left), a lecturer emerita in the American Studies and Women's Studies Departments, won the Distinguished Teaching Award for 1997. Frantz is highly regarded for her dedication to students and passion for her subject matter.

John Reid (center), the founder and executive director of A Grassroots Aspen Experience, won the Alumni Achievement Award. Through his nonprofit organization in Aspen, Colorado, Reid helps inner-city kids take part in an outdoor adventure far from their urban neighborhoods.

Angie Christmann (right), a coordinator for student programs and events at Cowell College, won the Outstanding Staff Award. For nearly 27 years, Christmann has helped students make their ideas for festivals, performances, and other events a reality.

The three, nominated by students, alumni, faculty, and staff and selected by the Alumni Council, were honored in a campus ceremony in late January.
