Azucena is always a pleasure to work with. She's super proactive and helps our team in any way that she can. I appreciate her reliability and willingness to go the extra mile.

She truly is a fantastic, indispensable member of the Fresno State community. Thank you so much, Cesi!

Simran Nagra, Office of Institutional Effectiveness
I want to give a shoutout to Simran for all her incredible help. Whether she’s testing a survey for me, brainstorming ideas, or even taking over a project when I’m super swamped, she is always there to lend a hand. Simran is such a friendly and thoughtful colleague, and I feel so fortunate to have her as my cube neighbor. I truly appreciate everything she does! Thank you, Simran.
