Extra Effort Awards – September 1, 2021
Karen Koehn, Life Science Lab Coordinator, Science – Nominated by Jennifer Menon Parker
Karen has done an outstanding job organizing and executing the plan for packing, moving, and distribution of lab materials for the human sciences. Her open lab personnel cleaned as well as sorted models into the various categories prior to the redistribution into either swing space, storage, or surplus. All inventories were completed well before the projected deadline. We couldn’t have done it without her.
Glenda Land, Executive Assistant, Human Resources – Nominated by Susan Hoffman
We are so lucky to have Glenda on the HR team! She started at JCCC in June and stepped up to help the Staff Development & Training area organize the communication logistics for the Fall Service Pin Award Celebration. That sounds easy enough, but it’s really an ongoing communication with over 275 JCCC employees. Glenda’s welcoming communication style and professionalism made employee’s feel comfortable in attending the first “in-person” Service Pin Celebration in over a year. Thank you, Glenda for your Extra Effort!
Jeff Mayo, Sr. Systems Engineer, Network & Data Center Operations – Nominated by Derrick Lane
Jeff regularly goes out of his way to support the IT Security Office, oftentimes with very short notice. Also, for his work in developing and implementing key components to automate the Minfraud security output tool.
James Trezvant, Housekeeping Warehouser, Housekeeping Services – Nominated by Leslie Dykstra
James has been amazing this summer with all the moving we have done at West Park and Antioch. We have struggled with making sure we have all our requests written and submitted correctly and James has picked up where we struggled and helped us manage getting all the correct furniture to the correct places and on time. James always arrives with a smile on his face and willing spirit to help. We wouldn’t be prepared for our students this fall if it wasn’t for James.
