Works Above and Beyond

Shawna Blair, Student Involvement and Student Unions
Shawna is the ultimate team player and is always willing to collaborate and help. During Homecoming week, she planned and executed daily celebration events for students and the campus community and still came out to support alumni events over the weekend. Our team was short staffed as we had multiple Homecoming events running on Saturday evening and Shawna joined our team and helped us with the late night clean up. Thank you Shawna. We appreciate you.

Shawna Blair, Student Involvement and Student Unions
Shawna's leadership in the Homecoming week planning has been so helpful. The student events are such a great way to add to the Fresno State student experience and foster a strong relationship to the University for many years to come post-graduation. Thank you for your hard work.

Isaac Caro, Scheduling Office
One smart and patient cookie. Isaac went above and beyond to help me with a project that I wasn't aware until four days before it was due. If he didn't know the answer to my questions, he would find out the answer and let me know. I was able to get my project done on time. Thank you for being so kind and helpful Isaac.

BoNhia Lee, University Communications
BoNhia took the extra time this week to train and support me on the development of a ton of social media work. She was knowledgeable, patient, willing to review things and had a great sense of humor about it, thank you.

Gena Strang-Behrens, Bulldog Foundation
Gena helped welcome a record 300+ student-athlete alumni and their families during the Homecoming BDF/Club Red Tailgate. Her work with student-athlete alumni has created a culture where our athletics alumni feel like they are welcomed "home." She has created consistent engagement that has helped us connect with our athletics alumni and cultivate their own contributions of time, talent and treasure. Also, our new teammate, Maddi Garcia, former water polo student-athlete, has joined our BDF team and helped Gena with a great homecoming tailgate. Thanks Gena and Maddi.

Nicole Traverso, Alumni Engagement and Annual Giving
The alumni Homecoming tailgate was such a great family friendly event. Thank you to Nicole for her hard work coordinating Homecoming and bringing value to the alumni experience.

Saved My Bacon

Belinda Munoz, Center for Irrigation Technology
Belinda and her family attended the Alumni Homecoming Tailgate in celebration of Homecoming week. After the event Belinda stayed late to help us clean up and tear down out of the goodness of her heart. She attended as a guest and saw our team was shorthanded and stayed to help. The Alumni Engagement and Annual Giving team appreciates you and thanks you for being an amazing colleague and Bulldog.

Katy Tarrant, Animal Sciences and Agricultural Education
AgBond is a program specifically designed to help students make the most out of their first year at Fresno State. It had been successfully taught by Beth Weinman but needed an Ag faculty to make a greater impact. Thank you, Katy, for stepping in and saving AgBond's bacon.
