Works Above and Beyond

Alix Gonzales, Mail Services
There have been times when our office has been closed. Alix has taken the extra step to call to ensure that we always get our mail. I really appreciate the extra attentiveness and communication!

Kyle Lyman, Office of Institutional Effectiveness
I would like to give a special shout-out to Kyle for his exceptional assistance. He consistently goes above and beyond whenever I need help. Thank you so much for your valuable support! Your efforts are truly appreciated.

Maribel Olea, Admissions and Recruitment
Thank you to Maribel and her teammates for assisting me and the United Way of Fresno/Madera Counties with an urgent and time-consuming research task. The willingness to jump in and assist and their timely response were above and beyond. Thank you, Admissions and Recruitment, for making Fresno State a great place for students and for supporting our team! Keep up the great work — you are appreciated.

Cynthia Ramirez, TRIO Student Support Services - Disabilities
Cynthia will soon be coming up on a year within her role. She has done a fantastic job of picking up the role and making it her own. She has helped revamp many projects in our program and I have seen her hard work and dedication to these projects. I have also witnessed her passion for helping our student population. Thank you, Cynthia, for all your hard work and dedication — it does not go unnoticed!

Koua Vang, Financial Aid
Koua provides detailed information whenever I present her with a student question/concern. She goes above and beyond to provide screenshots of the student’s individual situation/information which is definitely helpful when I am trying to work to explain something to a student. She has also been prompt and helpful during what I'm sure is a busy time and we appreciate her work. Thank you, Koua!

Careen Wong, Alumni Engagement and Annual Giving
Careen is a great team member and is always willing to work above and beyond. Her skills helped streamline the collection of event income and donations on the back end of the software. Thank you for all you do!

Scheduling Office
Huge thanks to the Scheduling office staff for helping find rooms when there was a last-minute enrollment change! Our department had an increase in numbers for two sections, and they were able to shuffle things around to fit the timeslot.

Provides Excellent Customer Service

Amanda Ambriz, University Registrar
I want to give a shout out to Amanda for her exceptional customer service. Whenever I need to make updates for a student, she completes them promptly and with great care. She is always patient and kind, which makes working with her a pleasure. Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication — it is truly appreciated!

Andrew Esguerra, Student Involvement and Student Unions
Andrew is amazing. Thank you so much for taking the time to show us around the Resnick Student Union. Your kindness is greatly appreciated. We learned so much and had great information to take back with us. Thank you!
