Works Above and Beyond

Josh Freeman, Fresno State Library
We extend our sincere appreciation to Josh for his exceptional support during the university’s WSCUC Reaccreditation site visit. His dedication in preparing the meeting spaces in the Library, ensuring all lighting and technology were in working order, and responding promptly to on-the-spot adjustments and requests helped the visit run seamlessly. His attention to detail and commitment to creating a welcoming environment were instrumental in presenting the university at its best.

Provides Excellent Customer Service

Ashley Abrahamson, Office of IDEAS
Ashley provided immense assistance with what, for me, were complicated and difficult formatting and accessibility issues on a template I'd created. She was not only very helpful, efficient and timely, she was also friendly and cheerful. Many thanks, Ashley.

Library Administrative Offices
Jennifer Lewis, Matt Montez and the Library team, thank you so much for your help in reserving meeting spaces in the Library and coordinating signage for the second floor and back parking lot during the university’s WSCUC Reaccreditation site visit, Oct. 8 to 10. Your flexibility, attention to detail and willingness to assist made a real difference and helped ensure the visit went smoothly. We truly appreciate your partnership and all that you do to support the university community.

University Catering
We extend our sincere thanks to Christina Martinez, Chef Baldonado and the Catering team for their outstanding contributions during the university’s WSCUC Reaccreditation site visit. Their thoughtfully crafted lunch menus and exceptional customer service — both for the drop-and-go deliveries and the many on-the-spot requests — helped ensure that every detail was handled with care and professionalism. Their dedication and flexibility played an important role in showcasing the university at its best.

Saved My Bacon

Provost's Office
I extend my sincere thanks to Katha Brassfield and Amanda Angel for their incredible support and teamwork throughout the university’s WSCUC Reaccreditation site visit. Their assistance with the coordination of the behind-the-scenes logistics for meetings and meals helped everything run seamlessly. Their readiness to step in, manage additional responsibilities and maintain excellent customer service allowed our office to continue to provide the highest level of support to our campus community. Their encouragement, professionalism and dedication were instrumental in me being away from the office and assisting in hosting our VIP guests.
