In Memoriam: Rebecca Szwarc
In Memoriam:
Rebecca Szwarc
When people saw a golf cart swaying around a curb, bringing bouncing water bottles for thirsty students for Cougar First Impressions (CFI), the person under the very large hat was Rebecca Szwarc.
When students saw a red-haired person in an apron, flipping pancakes and portioning out the right amount of chocolate chips at each Finals Mania, gesturing students to come forward, that person was Rebecca Szwarc.
One of the initiatives Rebecca was the most passionate about is the Professional Development Reimbursement, which will be named after her by Staff Council. She also worked for ten years to have a Group Excellence Award at the Staff Awards Luncheon, because she believed in teamwork. The Group Excellence Award, which began in 2016, will also be named after Rebecca Szwarc.
