STAFF STAR AWARD!
On behalf of the Staff Council we would like to say CONGRATULATIONS to Jenny Day, CEHS Events Coordinator, for being selected as the August recipient of our Staff Star Award!! Some of the things Jenny’s nominator said about her are:
· From the beginning of CEHS, Jenny has been responsible for overseeing as many as twenty college and department events per year. She manages all aspects of the events (guest lists, caterers, invitations, technology, both on-campus and off-campus and/or out-of-state venue locations, and much more). She maintains quality control, negotiates contracts and monitors expenses. With her sense of responsibility, planning, hard work and attention to details, College (and at times departmental) special events are smooth running and festive.
· Jenny was given some new events recently that provided additional challenges. Coordinating the African Gala, she helped coordinate not only the planning group, but also worked personally with community dancers, visiting dignitaries, movers, packers, caterers and supervised student helpers to coordinate a very successful fundraiser for College scholarships. She also supports the CEHS awards program, from coordinating the selection process to managing the details of the event. This past spring, even with significant changes to the venue, program and other details, the College Awards Celebration and Reception was another successful event where the recipients felt valued and recognized by their college and peers.
· Jenny serves as the front desk receptionist in the city campus Dean’s Office and also handles the Dean’s travel arrangements. Jenny has lots of projects—with lots of details—and lots of responsibility. Jenny’s thoughtfulness and attention to detail are evident in everything she works on and is appreciated by many.
So, if you get a chance, stop by room 233 in Mabel Lee Hall and congratulate Jenny. She is very deserving of this award!
