This week’s recipients are: 

Allison DeVries, manager of grant development and administration, Wilkinson College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, Dean’s Office           

Even though so many agencies are cutting their funding because of COVID-19, Allison has been working especially hard to find grants for faculty to apply for. – Dr. Shira Klein

Shannon McCance, graduate admission counselor, Office of Admission

Shannon’s set up many COVID-19 update emails and coordinated comms for nearly 300 virtual graduate program events since March 2019. Sometimes comm requests come at the last minute or are no longer relevant once the emails are ready, which can be frustrating, but Shannon doesn’t let it get to her. – Eva Yen and Jim Whitaker

Stephanie Takemoto, academic software applications analyst, Office of the Provost

Lonnise Magallanez, Administrative Assistant, Office of Graduate Education     

With sincere thanks for your efforts to remotely onboard our GTA students for Spring 2021, which has been challenging during the COVID pandemic. – Brian Powell

With sincere thanks for your ongoing support for – and responsiveness to – HR tech needs, which have been more challenging during the COVID pandemic. – Brian Powell

Frank Warren, classroom technology project manager, IS&T

Frank and Erik installed new classroom technology in Wilkinson before the start of the spring semester, enabling faculty to teach remotely. Through their dedication, the oldest building on campus has very advanced technology in classroom spaces. – Helen Norris

Rachel promoted library services and resources virtually throughout the pandemic in social media and blogs, in addition to coming to campus to retake photos for our first ever virtual exhibit that emphasizes diversity within our library story rooms. – Helen Norris
