Works Above and Beyond

Leah Groves, Agricultural Operations
Leah has demonstrated outstanding leadership as she has served as the co-interim farm manager. She is dedicated to the campus farm and its success. Leah never fails to work above and beyond and we appreciate all she does. Thank you!

Stephanie Foster, Services for Students with Disabilities
Stephanie came through with a new format for our staff meetings that provides a productive flow and really forces our office to focus on the bigger things and keeps bringing us back there until there is a solution. It has transformed our staff meetings. More offices should use this flow. Thank you, Stephanie!

Kelly Sabroe, Payroll
Kelly has always been a wonderful payroll technician to work with. Kelly has always been thorough and efficient. She also has to keep up with my payroll entries and deductions which I am sure is not always easy. In addition, she went above and beyond which will help me get through the holiday season a little easier. Thanks, Kelly!

Saved My Bacon

Deborah Reba, Technology Services
My email account was suspended last night when I was in the middle of sending emails to many teachers throughout California as part of my duties as coordinator of the MSTI CSET Science Workshops. I sent a voicemail to Tech Services, and Deborah called me first thing this morning and got everything working again, so I can send the necessary emails.
