ARCADIO MORALES, residence dean in Residential Education and resident fellow at Twain Hall, has been named the 2010 winner of the MARGARET ANN FIDLER AWARD for Distinguished Service in Student Affairs.
Morales was presented the award, which comes with a $1,000 prize, by Vice Provost for Student Affairs GREG BOARDMAN during a Student Affairs service award meeting on Tuesday, May 18.
The award was created in 2001 by former Vice Provost JIM MONTOYA to honor Fidler, who was retiring from Student Affairs after a 30-year career. The award recognizes exceptional contributions in the area of student affairs. It specifically recognizes those who demonstrate extraordinary dedication to their work and the mission of the university and whose work reflects integrity and a “sincere belief in the value of teamwork and collaboration.”
The award citation lauded Morales as follows:
- For more than 20 years of dedicated, unflappable and thoughtful support to students, parents and staff;
- For always saying “yes” with a positive attitude and a professional approach, when asked to take on additional duties or responsibilities;
- For your calm, approachable, non-judgmental demeanor, and your unique sense of humor;
- For being a role model as a Dad, mentor, colleague and member of the broader Stanford community;
- And finally, for being one of the most loyal and rabid Stanford Women’s Basketball fans of all time.
