Gemini STARS
Every year, Gemini staff can nominate a colleague to receive the “Gemini STARS” award. One award is given to an employee at both Gemini North and South. Employees who receive the award exemplify Gemini’s Working Culture, and meet these STARS standards:
Striving for personal and institutional growth
Treating others as we want to be treated
Acting with integrity in all we do
Responsibility and accountability for our actions
Safety of people and equipment
This year STARS awards honors Manuel Paredes and John White, not only with a STARS plaque, but also a free copy of A Sky Wonderful with Stars: 50 Years of Modern Astronomy on Maunakea. Congratulations to Manuel and John!
