Works Above and Beyond

Svetlana Korol, Admissions and Recruitment
Lana was very helpful in researching the data needed for the program I oversee. She went above and beyond to try to evaluate what was needed for the program. Thank you for your help!

Lars Newlander, Technology Services
Lars supported me with an annual event, Transgender Day of Remembrance, that took place virtually from 5 to 7 p.m. He stayed behind the scenes until the end and supported me throughout the entire event via Google messenger. This event would have not been successful without Lars' support.

Lisa McReynolds, Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships
Thank you, Lisa, for going above and beyond!

Wendy Nelson, African American Initiative (Outreach and Special Programs)
Wendy is an advocate and mentor to her community! She goes above and beyond by sharing any opportunity and important information that will improve her community whether it be students, parents and colleagues. She strives in making sure everyone gets the right information. Besides her work ethic, Wendy is also very true to herself and motivating. I am appreciative to have her as a colleague in our department. Thank you for all you do Wendy! Keep doing an awesome job!

Warehouse and Property Services
The team at the warehouse has been doing amazing work and fulfilling so many orders for COVID-19 supplies! The Environmental Health Safety team greatly appreciates their essential role in helping us with supplies and the role they play in keeping the campus community safe.

Provides Excellent Customer Service

Britt Foster, Library Research Services
I had a pressing need to photo scan some important materials for a course and was struggling with the technical equipment that, as we all know, can cause anxiety when things don't work the way you want them to. Britt provided a calming presence and guided me through the operations of the device and, well, just made things work. A perfect ending to a long day of a short week of returning to class in these ever-changing times.

Michael GilletteBerg, Technology Services
Michael is a stellar employee on many fronts. He is always ready to assist with any task. He thinks of innovative new ways to get tasks done. He is courteous and professional in every interaction. He is knowledgeable and humble. He is a go-to person when help is needed!

Saved My Bacon!

Pawn Sayphengsy, Technology Services
