2007 Employee Appreciation Awards |
Classified Council selects one staff member each month to highlight his or her outstanding contributions to WNC. Anyone from the college can nominate staff for this award. Profiles of the staff members selected are sent to the President's Office and a special celebration is held in the spring to recognize the outstanding achievements of these staff.
| September 2007 - Cecilia Hackman |
 Cecilia is a real pleasure to deal with no matter what the situation may be. She epitomizes a successful customer service approach. She is always gracious and calm toward the person she is trying to help. If she does not know the answer to your question, she always takes your information and gets back to you very promptly. Cecilia is always ready to go out of her way to find an answer to your question or problem. Our department has approached Cecilia with some interesting challenges. She handled each situation very successfully and with great capability. She is not a high profile individual but is a down to earth individual who is very productive. With pleasure I nominate Cecilia Hackman for September Classified Employee of the month.

| August 2007 - Laura-Lee Redwine |
 Laura-Lee is great! She is always trying to find the answer to questions or requests from students, faculty, part-time faculty, or anybody with the same promptness and importance. She always tries hard to share her wisdom with everyone. Many have had wonderful training from Laura-Lee, no matter how busy she was at the time. When they needed help, she was always there. She really deserves this award, because she is so professional and helpful. All the goodness is in Laura-Lee. |
| July 2007 - Andrea Ripley |
 Andrea Ripley has worked as an administrative assistant on the Fallon campus for many years. During this time, she has provided support for full-time and part-time faculty, doing everything from photocopying and typing to helping everyone get whatever they need to make their classes successful. Andrea is an unflappable person who can be approached to help with any need. She somehow figures a way to make things work. Andrea is a real asset to the Fallon campus by helping students courteously and competently as they complete the registration process and deal with problems. Andrea always has a smile for students and staff alike. In addition, Andrea has taken on the daunting task of assembling Circumference, a journal of student writing on the Fallon campus. These efforts are above and beyond her regular duties. |
| June 2007 - Jack Means |
 Jack Means is one of those folks who is always there and always willing to help. There are many events that happen at the college at times when regular staff is absent. These events usually go off without a hitch…..because Jack is on duty when they occur! If someone needs extra chairs or tables, Jack is willing; if someone needs a flag moved or a video screen located, Jack is willing. Many often figure that it must be someone else’s job…..someone else will make sure the tables and chairs are available; someone else is going to take care of the trash. Jack is many times that “someone else” and everyone really appreciates his over and above effort. In addition, he is always polite and joyful. He is very deserving of this recognition and is definitely an asset to WNC!

| May 2007 - Barbara Ford |
 Barbara went above and beyond her usual volunteering during this year's Shabby and Chic Flea Market and Craft Fair. Not only did she bring truckloads of wonderful donations from the community, she helped organize the stuff the night before, staying up until 1 a.m. doing last minute things. She then stayed late the following night to make sure everything was OK with the remaining items. On the day of the event, she outdid herself taking money and packing things up. In short, she was outstanding! Kudos to Barbara and more! On the personal side, Barbara is not only a great asset to the college, she is also a great volunteer throughout the community. She helps with her son's boy scout troop, baseball and soccer team organizations, and various fund-raisers. She has been a valuable asset to the WNC community for many years and we look forward to having her for many more. |
| April 2007 - Christina Hillis |
 With the outreach coordinator out of the office for undetermined amount of time, the College Day and Bridge to Success events could have been a recruitment nightmare. Thanks to Christina Hillis for keeping it all together. Christina has been instrumental in keeping the outreach activities coordinated for the college during this time. She has kept everyone informed of changes in the Bridge to Success recruitments, and has adjusted everyone's schedules based on high school needs. She has made sure everyone has the supplies they need for the students and has been the outreach contact for anyone with questions about days, times and staffing needs. This effort goes above and beyond her assigned duties and the college appreciates all her efforts to pitch in, so planned recruitment activities didn't have to be cancelled. |
| March 2007 - Roberto Ramirez |
 Roberto Ramirez has always been more than willing to help with anything. He is incredibly conscientious about making sure that the evening staff, students and children are well looked after and makes sure to touch base with anyone working at the college on the weekends. Roberto is always cheerful and makes everyone feel at ease. Roberto works the night security shift at the college, and has proven to be the ultimate "safety net" for the night staff at the WNCC Child Development Center. Roberto is kind of like a big brother to everyone at the center in that they always feel safe knowing he's nearby patrolling or just a phone call away if they need help. And whether they need help getting into the business office to drop off paperwork after hours or when they smell gas in the kitchen and need help lighting the pilot light, Roberto is always there lickety-split, ready to help in any way, with a smile in his heart. Thank you Roberto for all you do and all that you are. WNCC appreciates you! |
| February 2007 - Kevin Myers |
 Kevin deserves recognition for the hard work he has done within computing services and all over the college. For instance, his efforts in dealing with daylight savings time projects have been particularly impressive. Many computers around the campus didn't change over like they were supposed to, and Kevin, with his expertise, was right on top of it and got the job done. There have been many other times that various departments have needed computing services and Kevin was right there to "save the day". Kudos to him and all of computing services for their hard work and dedication to make things at WNCC run smoothly. |
| January 2007 - Lupe Ramirez |
 Lupe consistently provides outstanding assistance to students and staff. She always looks for ways to be helpful to others. During the recent flooding emergency in the counseling offices, Lupe was instrumental in supporting a smooth transition to temporary quarters, in getting the counselors set up with the necessary equipment, and in moving their files to a secure, off-site location. Her help was absolutely critical to the counselors. Everyone who deals with Lupe has never seen her anything but wonderful with anyone needing her help. In short, she is a delight to work with. |
