CONGRATULATIONS to Keith McGuffey, project associate in the Department of Child, Youth and Family Studies, for being selected as the February recipient of the CEHS Staff Star Award!! Some of the things Keith’s nominators said about him are:

· Keith was always willing to jump in and help me when I was covering for two other individuals in their absence, which made things run much smoother during a busy time of year. He quickly learned about registrations and permission codes, and the process of distributing them to students, which goes beyond his regular daily responsibilities. Keith is still extremely helpful during registration time, and I appreciate that he is willing to keep up with the changes we make so he can be of assistance when needed. Keith set up our department waitlist, so that it is easier to access for not only myself, but for advisers and students as well. Thanks, Keith! It has been a great improvement.
· Ready to help in a minute’s notice, Keith is always polite and respectful, and he is an excellent team player. He is willing to help anybody, and he does it with a smile. Keith is the kind of person that volunteers to help others whether it is getting candy from a grocery store or driving international students to Kearney.
· Keith has brought innovative ideas to our department; we now do many evaluations and surveys online whereas before it was a paper jungle. Keith set all these up. His outstanding performance shows in everything he does, whether it be complex travel arrangements, tech needs, menu planning and special events.

So, if you get a chance, stop by room 135 in Mabel Lee Hall and congratulation Keith. He is very deserving of this award!
