The Career Service Council at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology has given its Traditions of Excellence Award for April 2009 to Beth Francis. Francis is a secretary in the Office of the Provost, and has been employed at School of Mines since September 2008.

The Career Service Council gives the award to someone who has performed their assigned duties at a high level or above and beyond expectations, who has taken the initiative to promote the concept of successful job completion and has promoted a positive working relationship with students, faculty and staff.

Francis' nomination stated, "She had a huge task (Engineers Week) and did a great job. This alone might not be too amazing but if you consider it was her first Engineers Week, that makes it pretty awesome! Along with this, Beth is always very helpful and always has a smile on her face."
