Works Above and Beyond

Margarita Adona, Office of University Brand Strategy and Marketing
We are are very thankful to Margarita for the support offered to Outreach and Special Programs in creating a beautiful program we could hand to students and parents during Super Saturday-African American Initiative. She went above and beyond to make sure it would get done on time. Thank you, Margarita, for your time and attention to detail.

Marcy Gatzman, Campus Police
Marcy came over to help us when our alarm was ringing uncontrollably. We tried for 3 hours to get the problem resolved. When someone reached out to her, she came by to take a look and see if she could help. She facilitated what turned out to be a simple solution based on her knowledge and experience. I was so grateful to her for going above and beyond the call of duty to help solve our issue. Thanks Marcy! We appreciate everything you do for our campus community.

Thank you so much for being so awesome!
