Thumbs Up
"Thumbs Up" gives faculty and staff the chance to recognize others on campus for a job well done.
This week's "Thumbs Up" go to:
Jennifer Ricksy (Civil Engineering) -- A big "Thumbs Up" to Jennifer Ricksy for delivering vital administration services to the graduate students, staff and faculty of the School of Civil Engineering. Jennifer has demonstrated the proficiency to handle multiple assignments effectively in a fast-paced environment, works in a disciplined and organized manner, and treats other people, including those of different backgrounds, with fairness and respect. -- Samuel Labi (Civil Engineering)
Karen Barnard, Marilyn Timmons, Janet Moffett, Terry Knight, Kindra Rodgers, Cheri Davidson (Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs and Business Services): Huge thanks to my business office co-workers for keeping my department running efficiently with payroll, financial and budget during my extended absence. There are no words sufficient to relay to you how much I appreciate all your hard work. You are such a great bunch of people to work with. -- Cecelia "Sam" Walter (Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs)
Chris Pass and the Registrar's Office: This past graduation, we all experienced a new addition to the ceremonies with the announcing of all of the undergraduate candidate names. I give a big applause to Chris Pass and her staff in having everything so organized for this new experience -- each student with a card in hand with their name and how it was to be sounded out. As I watched the ceremony on Friday evening, I was impressed as to how well everything went. Beautifully done, Chris! -- Tarri Brickler (Mechanical Engineering)
Bill Gorman (Computer Science): Thank you for dedicating all weekend to commencement. The guidance you provided as a procession marshal and your assistance in the Armory were appreciated! We could not have done it without you. -- Chris Pass (Registrar's Office)
Beth McCord (University Development Office): Beth's responsibilities in the University Development Office include bulk emailing for the university, colleges, schools, departments and organizations on campus. Using Delivra, she bulk emails newsletters, invitations, greeting cards, etc. I approached her with an idea for a birthday card and newsletter for donors to the College of Science Diversity Office. What I asked for was not exactly something she had attempted before. She jumped right in to figure out how to accomplish these two separate multi-layered requests. She provided solutions and suggestions in an extremely timely manner. She also will be able to provide us with statistics to evaluate the success of our endeavors, which includes the number of emails opened, what was clicked through and unsubscribe maintenance. She was positive, enthusiastic and willing to step outside of the box. The College of Science Advancement Office thanks her for her time and expertise. -- Evie McCord (College of Science)
Linda Ford (Procurement Services): Linda went out of her way to help us out with a travel issue. We sincerely appreciate her efforts. Thank you! -- Monica Kennedy and Ruthie Jackson (College of Technology)
