Works Above and Beyond

Reyna Alvarado, Sociology
Reyna is the best. She never hesitates to take time out of her day to help me whenever I have questions, and I know I'm not the only one she does this for. She really does work above and beyond. Thank you, Reyna.

Reyna Alvarado, Sociology
Reyna always goes above and beyond to serve and support students and faculty. She is organized, professional and kind in all she does. Her work is consistently outstanding, which is why so many people go to Reyna with concerns and questions. If Reyna does not know the answer, she will find out who does. Fresno State and the Sociology Department are so fortunate to have Reyna as part of our community.

Kelly Cunning, School of Nursing
Kelly gives 100% for the Mobile Health Program. During the pandemic, Kelly organized, trained students and myself on Prep-mod and MyTurn, which are the online COVID-19 vaccine reporting systems. In addition, Kelly has extended our community outreach with the Mobile Program, reaching and providing services to over 21,000 individuals over the last seven years. Thank you Kelly.

She came in hopeful with a smile on her face and ready to work. I appreciated her positivity and hopefulness. Thank you, Paige, for working above and beyond. It did not go unnoticed.

Saved My Bacon!

Chor Yang, College of Health and Human Services
At our last visit to Poverello House with the mobile health unit, Chor stepped in to be the "registar" for the clinic. The student who normally fills this role could not make it to this clinic. Chor jumped in and filled this gap so the clinic could run smoothly. Thank you, Chor.
