Supporting KBS science: Two lab managers receive awards from MSU’s College of Natural Science

Two KBS lab managers have been recognized with MSU College of Natural Science Support Staff Awards over the past year.

Holly Vander Stel (right), who works in the Evans Lab, received a 2023-24 award. Allyson Hutchens (left), who works in the Litchman and Shah labs, received a 2024-25 award.

The Support Staff Award is given to support staff members who exhibit exceptional support to the College of Natural Science or one of its units. Recipients are chosen based on excellence in job performance, supportive attitudes, and contributions that lead to improved efficiency or effectiveness to better the College’s ability to fulfill its mission. Just two or three staff members are singled out for the award each academic year.

Thank you, Allyson and Holly, for the talents and passion you share with KBS.
