Works Above and Beyond

Amanda Andalon, Services for Students with Disabilities
Amanda always puts in an effort to bring joy and life to our office through her fun contributions to staff meetings, decorations around the office, activities for us to do as staff and more. I appreciate Amanda's spirit so much, and in addition to the great work she does for her position, the light she brings to the office is much appreciated and needed to help get through the daily grind! Thank you for what you do for us, Amanda!

Cynthia Hanks, Accounting Services
Cynthia is always willing to help me out. She responds to my many emails or phone call very quickly. She is always polite and friendly even when I bother her tons of times in her day. She is knowledgeable about her area and if she doesn't know the answer gets back to me quickly. She is a joy to work with!

Julie Irwin, Human Resources
Julie is always ready to help! She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and a super fantastic individual. I always know Julie will work hard to ensure all employees have what they need and put in maximum effort to ensure we can all work ergonomically. Since my first day as a new employee, Julie has been there saving my neck (literally and figuratively).

Adriana Etchart Knutsen, University Marketing and Communications
One of our marketing materials was tasked out to Adriana to work on, and she did an amazing job. She was extremely thorough and would let us know ASAP if she found any errors or anything that could be updated. She went above and beyond for us, and we are super appreciative.

Victoria Lee, Accounting Services
Victoria went above and beyond to help me find a last-minute meeting space when my room options were limited. Thank you, Victoria!

Monica Olmedo, University Advising Center
Our collaborations are not ones that take place every day, but when we do work together, I enjoy the attitude she brings, along with her knowledge and expertise.

Olivia Pape, University Marketing and Communications
Every single time I have worked with Olivia, she goes above and beyond. We might ask her for something simple, but she goes out of her way to make it better. We are super thankful to work with Olivia.

Jayne Ramirez, Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Studies
I want to thank Jayne for her hard work on the new online catalog and taking the time to help me with several projects. She took the time out of her very busy schedule to assist our area with some time sensitive issues. Jayne not only helped resolve them but did so in an efficient manner. Thank you for all that you do!

Leticia Saavedra, University Registrar
Lety is an awesome worker who is always willing to help and make things easier for me to do my job. I would be lost if not for her. Since day one of my arrival, she has been an asset I cannot be without.

Saved My Bacon

Brian Alley, Accounting Services
Brian has been helping me in the Student Accounts and Bulldog Card Offices while a position is being filled. It is an absolute gift to work with him every day and I cannot thank him enough. I would not be able to survive back here if it was not for the patience, diligence and unconditional support Brian Alley demonstrates every single day. Thank you so much, Brian!

Estella Gonzalez, Degree Evaluations
Continually assists with our updates to students DPR/Military credits — she stops what she is doing and takes care of the student file immediately. Thank you, Estella!

Tyler Lovejoy, Library
Thank you to Tyler Lovejoy, our library graphic designer! We were on a tight deadline for a large print order. We were having issues with the new system, which left us in a jam. Tyler came to our rescue and provided a solution. I am so grateful to Tyler, as they make our library a better place to work!

Maribel Flores, International Office/Division of CGE
We had a student who required immediate assistance in correcting an issue that involved collaboration among various offices. Maribel quickly worked with all offices involved, to get it rectified before the end of the day. Her willingness to work expediently, jointly and efficiently to provide excellent customer service deserves to be recognized and is very much appreciated!

Ryan Lowry, Warehouse and Property Services
BIG shoutout to Ryan for his exceptional customer service. I recently had a big surplus pick up, but I forgot a few items. Ryan went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of and even returned to pick up the forgotten items without any hesitation. His patience, kindness, and hard work are truly appreciated. Thank you so much, Ryan!

Joanne Ramirez, Division of Research and Graduate Studies
We had a student who required immediate assistance in correcting an issue that involved collaboration among various offices. Joanne quickly worked with all offices involved, to get it rectified before the end of the day (which also meant staying after hours). Her willingness to work expediently, jointly and efficiently to provide excellent customer service deserves to be recognized and is very much appreciated!

Thanks to both Eva and Juanita for helping us with multiple last-minute changes with patience and professionalism. Eva walked me through the online ordering process and helped us get everything finalized. We really appreciate both of these excellent colleagues. Thank you, ladies!
