Based on the nominations that were received from their peers, it gives me great pleasure in recognizing our first recipients of the Customer Service Employee Recognition Award:

Jeanette Pollard - Budget Services
Serving 25 years in an area that manages other areas/departments funding may call for some turbulent challenges - particularly in customer service. Jeanette Pollard defies this theory through her kind personality, unwavering patience, and her extraordinary ability to communicate the budget process in a manner that is understood by whoever is asking the question. One nomination stated, "Jeanette is the sweetest person and is always willing to stop what she is doing to answer any question or help me with any problem with my budget that I may have."

In addition to her positive outlook and pleasant disposition, Elaine possesses exceptional administrative/clerical skills and will always follow-up with a customer if she is unable to resolve a question.

As supervisor of Mail Services, Melba is known campus-wide for her efficiency, courteous disposition, and following-up with the campus community on issues ranging from letters missing stamps to departments missing packages. Melba demonstrates to everyone how important a smile can be when dealing with a wide range of customers.
