Works Above and Beyond

Nate Gapasin, Agricultural Science and Technology, Dean’s office
Nate has been going above and beyond since he started in our Dean's office, but throughout COVID and especially during the current transition of welcoming our new dean, he has been putting in extra time to make sure everything in our college runs smoothly and everyone's needs are met. Nate always finds a way when we need something and never hesitates to help us out even though he has a million other things to attend to. We appreciate you, Nate!

Adrian Ramirez, Career Development Center
Adrian is one of the easiest people to collaborate with. His inventive ideas to provide career services and career exposure to our students are such a benefit to the students at Fresno State. I never have a concern when I refer a student to him that they will not get great career guidance. Thank you, Adrian!

Christine Rotzinger, Admissions and Recruitment
We received several pallets of materials in August and September weighing well over several hundred pounds. Christine has been instrumental in organizing and putting all of our materials away. While the recruitment staff were out at a CSU professional development conference, she received and stored over 65,000 pieces of publications along with other swag we received for this years' recruitment cycle. On top of that, Christine continues to pull thousands of pieces of materials for the staff and makes it easy for them as they prepare for their recruitment trips.

Brittany Verdugo, Auxiliary Human Resources
Brittany not only provides excellent customer services, but works hard and goes above and beyond to help us with whatever information we need (even if it creates more work on her end). We appreciate your attention to detail and support Brittany so we can serve our students!

Provides Excellence Customer Service

Kathy Dunbar, University Advising Center
Kathy Dunbar provides excellent customer service to her fellow DOSAEM colleagues. Whenever I mistakenly receive emails from students inquiring on academic-related matters, I will often forward them to Kathy, and I know that she will help me provide that warm hand-off to our students. Thank you, Kathy!

Joshua Freeman, Library - Shipping and Receiving
Josh is always super helpful when I need his assistance with media events in the library. But today, he helped me retrieve something that had fallen behind my desk. There wasn't any way for me to get to it, and it is something with great sentimental value. Josh took the time to help me get the item back in perfect condition. Thank you, Josh!

Cynthia Hanks, Accounting Services
Cynthia helped me with a few "quick" questions and was so prompt. She went above and beyond to assist and so was helpful and kind. Thank you, Cynthia, you are amazing!

Travis Hegerle, Technology Services
Travis is awesome. He always assists when needed; via chat, phone, or in person, he always resolves the problem/issue immediately. You Rock, Travis!

Saved My Bacon

Student Housing
Thank you Student Housing (Michele Dunlap who was our main contact) for allowing the Student Health and Counseling Center to film two-thirds of our educational video in Baker Hall. We wanted a Fresno State homegrown look and feel to our video and Student Housing made it happen. Thank you!
