Kudos to Zeb McCauley, Paul Martin, Alan Beer, Michelle Schneider and Justin- Talk about creative problem-solvers! I needed to retrieve film footage of class guest speakers from an external hard drive. Many of these speakers no longer live in our community or are able to continue speaking. For a variety of reasons retrieving the footage was more complicated than it should have been.
Justin and Michelle tried first.
Then Alan got involved.
Alan then suggested I see Zeb and Paul.
Zeb and Paul had several possible solutions and within 24 hrs. it was done!
One of my students helping me with the film footage saw the colleague collaboration unfold. She was so impressed and heartened. She asked me how we could acknowledge everyone involved.
I work with THE best group of colleagues!

Kudos to Cindy Szmania-  Cindy went above and beyond to help me when I was at the Bookstore. I went into the Bookstore to buy a couple of shirts; however, I didn’t have that much time, so I wasn’t able to try anything on. Cindy took the time to explain to me how the return policy works, which I never knew existed. While I was there, I decided to do some quick Christmas shopping for my parents, it’s always nice to get them some NMC decor!! Not knowing what size to pick, Cindy actually tried on one of the shirts to help me visualize what it would look like on my parent. Nobody since I have worked here has ever done that for me. With Cindy’s assistance, I was able to get new shirts for myself, as well as two sweatshirts for my parents for Christmas. Thank you so much Cindy for all of your help; words alone can’t tell you how thankful I am. You are definitely an asset to the Bookstore, and NMC is lucky to have you as an employee.

Kudos to Michelle Schneider, Kay Harris, Kyle Morrison- Kay, Michelle, and Kyle dedicated significant time to creating the opening video for the October PD Day. Michelle latched onto Kay’s original idea and visited multiple departments to collect spontaneous testimonials about student success and Kyle worked his editing magic to create a wonderful video from the multitude of video footage that Michelle collected. Their hard work and dedication to NMC’s PD Day is very much appreciated!

Kudos to Lori Hodek and Kristen Salathiel-  Lori and Kristen did an outstanding job in planning our first PDD for faculty and staff. I appreciate the time that these ladies took in all that this project entailed! I can’t wait until the next PDD!

They did an outstanding job of designing and executing the Staff Development Day on October 18. Bringing Faculty and Staff together in a united purpose with a mix of content, some of which was of interest to both groups, felt like an important step in establishing common cause (student learning!) between the groups. The day was nearly flawless, the course content relevant, the presentations were well-prepared and worthy of our College. It was a proud day. Thank you!
