GENESEO, NY (01/14/2011)(readMedia)-- Nunda resident John J. Nickerson, a general mechanic in SUNY Geneseo's Facilities Services Department, has received the college's Gloria and Van Quaal Outstanding Quality Service Award for 2010. A 27-year employee of the college, he received the honor during the Division of Administration and Finance's recent recognition ceremony on campus.

"John's steadfast loyalty to Geneseo combined with his positive attitude and focus on teamwork made him a splendid selection for this award," said Kenneth Levison, vice president for administration and finance. "I am very pleased to recognize his service to the college."

The annual award recognizes an individual in the Division of Administration and Finance who has had a consistently high level of performance during his or her career, a recognizable and meaningful impact at the college, and who serves as a role model for others. The college established the award in 1997 through an endowment from the Geneseo Foundation in honor of the Quaals' many years of devoted service to the college and Geneseo community. Van Quaal was vice president emeritus of business affairs and finance at SUNY Geneseo before his death in 2005 at age 80.

The selection committee chose Nickerson from eight nominations this year. He received a certificate and a $1,000 check from the Geneseo Foundation.
