Works Above and Beyond

Tiffany Burmeister, Warehouse and Property Services
Tiffany is such a wonderful, understanding, accommodating, and overall, super easy individual to communicate and work with. She's always there to help answer my questions and always makes things work. I truly appreciate her for everything she has done for our office suite. Thank you for everything!

Estella Gonzalez, Undergraduate Degree Evaluations, University Registrar
Estella responded quickly and with care to an issue involving an incorrectly categorized course. She investigated the problem, looked at every single student possibly affected, and came up with several solutions based on the students' unique situations. She then effectively communicated the issue and solutions to the appropriate administrator and shared all updates with me. Throughout the process she was understanding, professional and clearly committed to student success!

Lynn Jaschke, Admissions and Recruitment
Lynn has been a great asset to the tour program. She has taken on campus tours, being able to juggle all the individual and group tour schedules, plus organize, hire and train the student tour guides and filling in for them when they are out. She continues to do her normal recruiting job on top of it all. She has managed to keep everything moving forward even if she has to stay late or work the weekend. She doesn't complain and just keeps plugging along.

Saved My Bacon

Annette Gallegos, Scheduling
I had reserved a room for an on-campus workshop and when I went to check on the room the Friday before the event, there was no furniture and it was in no condition to be used. With only 15 minutes left in the work week, on a Friday afternoon, Annette approved another room on campus and set up access to the room for the following Monday. Thank you, Annette!
