University employees earn
recognition for public deeds
■ More than 100 people
attended the ceremony to honor
recipients of the award
By Eric Martin
Oregon Daily Emerald
Thursday’s Martin Luther King
Jr. awards in the Gerlinger Lounge
represented more than just a recog
nition of significant public service.
They were bestowed upon four
University employees who are fol
lowing in the footsteps and ideas of
an African American leader who
helped forge and forever change a
nation’s attitudes about human uni
ty. Like King, they have given hope
and a voice to those seeking help,
University President Dave Frohn
mayer said.
“If he were here, and I have the
humble arrogance to believe I can
convey what he might say, he
would want to he remembered not
so much for his words, but for his
deeds,” Frohnmayer said to open
the noon ceremony.
Indeed, they the winners spoke
before more than 100 people at the
presentation about their actions,
not their best intentions.
Michael Jefferis, a student
records specialist in the registrar’s
office, received the honor for
helping students of all ethnicities
gain foothold in a river of Univer
sity regulations and policies. Jef
feris has been at the University
nearly two years.
“I want to thank my parents, be
cause they created me and have
shaped who I am as a person,” Jef
feris said. “I’d like to quote a mu
sician who’s one of my favorites,
Ben Harper: ‘Good deeds and
good intentions are as far apart as
heaven and hell.’ I try to think of
that in what I do everyday.”
For some of the recipients, a life
of championing equality through
public service didn’t seem so much
a choice as an obligation.
“My mother was the first black
president of the PTA in Oregon,”
Office of Multicultural Affairs Di
rector Carla Gary said. “She taught
us to speak up for ourselves and to
speak for those who can’t speak
for themselves.”
Gary has advocated for and pro
vided warm guidance to students of
color from the OMA office since
1998 in her capacity as director.

MLK award recipient
as a counseling coordinator, and
from 1986 to 1989 she was associ
ate director for OMA.
Her mother, Bobbi Gary, and sis
ter, Daria Bradford, traveled Thurs
day morning from Portland to at
tend the ceremony.
“Our dad and I took she and her
sisters on trips all over,” Bobbi Gary
said. “Reading and seeing helped
them get ready to be young ladies.
i he University also honored in
ternational studies Professor Anita
Weiss and business school academ
ic programs Assistant Dean Wendy
Mitchell with MLK awards. Weiss,
for her willingness to share her
sharp insights about Pakistan and
Afghanistan with administrators,
faculty and students after the
tragedies of Sept. 11, and Mitchell,
for her efforts to aid and oversee all
undergraduate and graduate stu
dents in the business school.
The University has presented
MLK awards annually since the
early 1990s. Recipients are nomi
nated by past recipients of the
awards.
Weiss, who just returned from
a four-day visit to Pakistan where
she was the distinguished lectur
er at the annual convention of
the Pakistan Society of Develop
ment Economists, said she owed
much to the award she was hon
ored with.
“My hope is that I can live up to
what this award really connotes.”
