Unsung Hero Award

Appreciate a staff member who makes a significant contribution to the campus but hasn’t gotten the recognition they deserve.  Recipients are selected quarterly presented with a certificate of appreciation and a gift card. The recipient's supervisor is also informed. Nominate an unsung hero today!   

Autumn Quarter 2009:
Dannah Madden, Nursing
Dannah has led the SIS user training meetings for the past year because of her own desire and willingness to help staff become better. In turn, better staff are happy staff and happy staff impact students in a positive way. Dannah has not been tasked to undertake this project, for which she is so passionate. She does it because it is the right thing to do. Very few words need to be spoken about Dannah's positive impact on the staff and students. She isn't the typical "quiet" unsung hero, hence all the more reason we need to shout out and celebrate her! Dannah deserved to be recognized for doing her part to make the lives of students better.
