What began as a "bold idea" in the 2017 Bold Ideas Challenge has now come to fruition in Fresno State's newest employee recognition program — High Five. Click here to read about how the program began.

High Fives are easy to give — simply go to the High Five website on the Organizational Excellence webpage, click “Give a High Five” and fill out the form to send kudos to anyone on campus. Your message will be delivered straight to their inbox, and recipients will be acknowledged weekly in Campus News.

Read below how your colleagues are going above and beyond to help the campus community.

Goes Above & Beyond

Hannah Lauchner, Marketing, Department of Athletics
Hannah went above and beyond to support a recent project that could not have been completed without her. Her timeliness and help were greatly appreciated!

Savannah Stoeckle, Strategic Communications, Department of Athletics
Savannah was willing to provide a helping hand in her area of expertise and provide the resources and information to make completing a task easier. Thank you for your help, Savannah!

Scheduling
Both Annette and Debbie go above and beyond the call of duty. They serve the entire campus efficiently and with grace. I never feel like a bother and they always behave with professionalism and kindness. They respond quickly, even though they have an incredible amount of work on their plates. They set an amazing example of how to apply the principles of our community regardless of the circumstances they find themselves. And I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. I've had this conversation with others who echo these same sentiments. Thank you both so much for all you do!

Saved My Bacon!

Erin Ruiz, Center for Faculty Excellence
Erin has definitely saved our bacon over the last week. I greatly appreciate her stepping in, without hesitation, when we were down a staff member during our peak time. I have been able to breathe a little more with her support. Thank you, Erin!
