Congratulations to Bobbi Garner (right), Office Manager of the Science & Math Academic Area, for winning this year’s Staff Excellence Award. During the spring semester, she worked late into the night and over a weekend to get 70 students rescheduled in their classes after an instructor had to cancel classes due to an emergency. Her work helped 23 of those students graduate on time in the spring.
Congratulations also to the Educational Technologies (EMT) team (left), who were integral in the transition to virtual learning this past spring. They held daily Zoom office hours and fielded five times as many help desk tickets this past March as the previous March due to the shift. This summer, they provided their teaching solutions course to over 90 instructors rather than the typical 12 to 15.
