Goes Above & Beyond

Imelda Dudley, Jordan College Advising and Career Development
Imelda and her team of students, Carlee Thomson and Lisette Simentel, have worked tirelessly since the start of the semester to put together the Jordan College Welcome Back Social and Career Fair. They networked with employers to get them to table at the event, as well as organized all the logistics of the event. With her leadership, the event was a major success. It had a large turnout of students and employers and was a great accomplishment in the first semester coming back from the pandemic.

Kaerny Sidhu, Payroll Services
Kaerny has been my lifesaver during a period where not only our department needed support but our students. I appreciate his hard work and willingness to help in any way he can. If we have any questions, he is willing to pick up the phone and respond even during busy times. Thank you for your support and dedication, Kaerny.

Provided Excellent Customer Service

Denise Pearcy, Printing Services
Denise always goes above and beyond to provide excellent customer service. She is flexible, timely and always has a "can-do" attitude. She is very much appreciated!

Miguel Martinez, Facilities Management
Miguel is such a hard worker and a pleasure to be around. So often he goes above and beyond what is required of him just to ensure we are all satisfied with the work he's done. Fresno State is lucky to have him as a part of the team!

Saved My Bacon!

Amanda Eberlein, Admissions and Recruitment - Graduate Admissions
High Five to Amanda in Graduate Admissions for saving my bacon. She noticed I was bombarded with many priorities and, without being asked, stepped in and set up the fall 2022 application processes so that applications could be downloaded. Thank you, Amanda, for helping me reach the first download goal date.
