Elrod, Roger (Student Health Center) is Stepping Beyond
“In addition to his day job (and now serving as an AVP) Roger has worked tirelessly for 8 plus years to see the building of the new Student Wellness Center thru the many phases required of a project of such magnitude. This project ran into many challenges including financing, staff turnovers, occupancy decisions, changing construction and architecture firms, even a site relocation, to say nothing of the design obstacles – along with about 610,000+ other decisions! Roger has adeptly navigated each hurdle, always championing for what is best for our students while collaborating with many stakeholders. He has spent thousands of hours on making the SWC a great space, including many late nights and most weekends. He richly deserves recognition for his central role in making the new SWC a reality- one that with enrich the lives of students for many years to come.” –Laurie Morgan
McGee, Candice (MLK Library) is Stepping Beyond
“Candice did a great job organizing the Library’s Student Assistant Graduation reception in the library. It was such a nice event. I really appreciated all of her attention to the details: creating a program with photos, choosing really great food, having name tags for everyone, and this year dressing up the penguin as well. Candice did a great job of incorporating some new ideas to make the event even better this year, and it was very meaningful to honor Chi Lam and have his fraternity brothers join us.” –Luann Budd
Eul, Karen (Financial Aid & Scholarships) is Stepping Beyond
“A new scholarship website has been created for students to apply for scholarships through. There has been a ton of behind the scenes work that has gone on that most wouldn’t know about. I have seen Karen working tirelessly to make sure the site is fantastic and working properly. When students come in with questions about the site, she takes time to sit down and work with each student until their question is answered. She just goes out of her way to make sure that not only is the question that the student asked answered, but also makes sure that whatever their next question might be is also answered, before the student even knows they had it!!” –Evyn Bejarano
Molteni, Valeria (University Library) is Stepping Beyond
“Valeria has been a mentor to me during my first year at the Library. She had modeled best practices in librarianship and really gone above and beyond to help me adjust and improve my own best practices.” –Jennifer Dinalo
