Quote: "One of my colleagues has stated that Dave Hurley is a 'treasure, a natural wonder, a one-of-a-kind, jack-of-all-trades.' I concur! The Distinguished Staff Award must go to someone with dedication, innovativeness, and willingness to take his/her job to new levels—Dave Hurley is just such a person." ---Biology Lecturer Linda Martin-Morris
