Bettye Price

A business wizard. The jewel in the crown of Biology's main office. No person more central to the success of its research mission. The "life and soul" of the department. A model of grace, ability, professionalism and cheer.

Those are just some of the many accolades used to describe Bettye Price, winner of the 2011 Marshall D. O'Neill Award, which honors staff members who have made outstanding contributions to Stanford's research mission.
