“Richard Hampton demonstrates excellence in overall work performance. His knowledge of acceptable standard accounting practices is exemplary," said Stack. "His attention to detail is highly regarded by our team. I know that Rich’s team feels that he is a strong leader. Rich takes advantage of every professional development opportunity, and also encourages his staff to do so. He creates a team atmosphere of excellence which includes his student workers. Richard Hampton exemplifies the SIUE values of citizenship, excellence, integrity, openness and wisdom." 

"It is an honor to receive this extremely nice recognition," said Hampton. "My success would not exist without the support of an excellent team and many other colleagues at SIUE, as well as a group of volunteers who generously give their time and expertise to the SIUE Foundation and Alumni Association boards.  I want to thank Vice Chancellor Rachel Stack for her vision and support, my awesome Financial Affairs staff, and all of my other friends, co-workers and board members who I work with closely.
