Provides Excellent Customer Service

Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs and Academic Resources
I would like to recognize the outstanding assistance provided to the College of Health and Human Services (CHHS) and the schools under its umbrella. Amanda Angel, Angelica Lopez and Nate Gapasin have been instrumental in supporting the various ASC's (DAA's) in the CHHS Service schools with budget management and account organization. Although Amanda is physically in the CHHS Dean’s Office only three days a week, she is consistently available whenever support is needed. Her guidance, responsiveness, and exceptional customer service have been invaluable. Angelica and Nate have been available to meet with us and provide the level of assistance we have needed. I am sincerely grateful to Amanda, Angelica, and Nate for their dedication, expertise and continued support.
