Hamilton's Alumni Council will present its 2005 Distinguished Service Award to Tim Hicks, director of audiovisual services, during Volunteer Weekend on April 8. Given annually, the award recognizes an employee who has substantially contributed to Hamilton through distinguished performance in his or her position and through involvement in student, alumni or other activities in the College community. Previous winners include former Hamilton President Gene Tobin and Professor of Theatre Carole Bellini-Sharp.
Hicks came to the College in 1981 fresh out of SUNY Alfred where he earned a degree in audiovisual technology. He was a technician until 1992 when he became director of audiovisual services. He and his wife Yvonne are the parents of four children: Andrew, 22, Tasha, 20, Justin, 17, and David, 8.
Hicks is being honored for his work in providing audio-visual support for campus events, from Commencement to Great Names lectures and off-campus programming.
