Supervisor Recognition
Quotes from student employees recognizing the great work of their supervisors.
Gina Nicoli
“Gina is a very lively and wonderful person to be around. She is incredibly accommodating, too. She always checks in with me to make sure I wasn’t overdoing it and would remind me to only do as much as I can.”
John Contreras
“John can get everyone laughing and then down to business in an equally effective way. His humor creates a jovial environment that is fun to work in and be a part of. He remembers little details about his student workers, constantly putting his employees and their best interests first.”
Amanda Soika
“Amanda’s kindness and ability to treat every student who enters our office with equality is inspiring. She helps me with school and work and will even give me advice on my resume. I felt I was able to start this semester with a stronger stance because of her support in my work and with my academic goals.”
Nicole Solakiewicz
“Nicole uses work as an opportunity to teach us how to better do our jobs, particularly with data processing—which is something I did not come in knowing a lot about.”
Beth Traylor
“Beth is always making sure we are comfortable and feel safe. There have been instances where hard-to-deal-with people come to the library and she ensures we have the tools and resources to help these patrons. It’s hard to think of just one time that she has impacted my life because she continues to do so every day.”
Christine Wolf
“Christine is an outstanding supervisor because of her ability to set clear expectations. She has a talent for understanding the unique strengths of each employee. She truly wants the best for all her students and those who work with her.”
Dyanna Czeck
“She is awesome to everyone across the board and is truly caring. Dyanna has truly impacted my life, and I am grateful that she has been able to help me so much in realizing I am good at what I want to be doing as a career.”
Katie Rose
“I am lucky enough to be working under Katie. She is all around great and personable. She is even working to help me get connections outside of work and painting so I can find a permanent position for after graduation. Her genuine nature is very evident. Katie cares about our well-being.”
