On behalf of the Staff Council we would like to say CONGRATULATIONS to Diane Sealock, staff assistant for certification and recruitment in the Field Placement Office, for being selected as the December recipient of our Staff Star Award!!

Some of the things Diane’s nominator said about her are:

· Diane performs at an extremely high level in all facets of her position. Her primary responsibility of processing all certification requests (from most of the other 49 states plus the District of Columbia) that come through our office is responded to in a professional, courteous and efficient manner. The quality of her work in this area is exceptional, and there is always a great attention to detail. Diane is also responsible for staying current on Nebraska requirements for certification and works with a number of grant/loan forgiveness programs offered through the Nebraska Department of Education. She has also taken on more responsibilities tied to electronic record keeping which includes keeping track of test scores for student who are completing the CORE and Praxis II exams. These are all important tasks that are crucial to the certification process.
· Diane helps Karen Kassebaum, the college recruiting director, by organizing campus visits and making sure all materials are ready when students come to our office. She has also helped Jon Kerrigan, Global Exchange Coordinator for the College, and Sara Skretta, our new Director of Professional Experiences, make the necessary adjustments to their new positions and has made sure they feel comfortable in their roles.
· Providing excellent service to everyone who needs our assistance, Diane addresses all matters in a courteous and timely manner, and when called upon to do so, she utilizes excellent judgment and makes sound decisions on all issues. She is an excellent worker who gets along well with all of her colleagues in the Student Services Center, and everyone who has any contact with our office.

Congratulations to Diane. She is very deserving of this award!
