Shane Cockrum, Custodian, Housekeeping Services – Nominated by Leann Eaken

Mary Hanover, Administrative Assistant, Business Division – Nominated by Gwenda Hawk
Across campus, those who are responsible for keying the class schedules have had an incredibly difficult job due to COVID-19, including Mary Hanover in the Business Division, the past few semesters I have seen her (and asked her to) build a semester schedule, only to change it significantly and ask her to re-build it–on multiple occasions! She has executed this responsibility (among her other responsibilities) diligently and without complaint or demonstrating frustration (though she must have felt some, as we all have). I have communicated with her about making emergency changes to the schedule to accommodate pandemic needs on weekends and evenings. Thank you for going the extra mile to support students and faculty and staff across JCCC!
Man Ho, Lab Technician Hospitality, Hospitality Management – Nominated by Jerry Marcellus
Man Ho is responsible for the day to day maintenance and cleanliness of the culinary/baking labs in the WHCA. He is the invisible force that works tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure the labs are functioning properly for the students and the instructors. He works tirelessly every day and executes his duties to the highest levels and beyond.
– Nominated by Damian Fraase
Man Ho is an unwavering, and tireless employee who makes sure all our kitchens and equipment in the WHCA are organized, clean and in proper use. He sets our atrium for special events, does daily laundry, and helps Ms. Bridget with food deliveries and stocking those deliveries in the storeroom. Man Ho is a positive, impactful employee who deserves this recognition.
– Nominated by Chrystal Tatum
Man consistently goes above and beyond for our department. He is the person you can always count on to pitch in and help. Many times, this semester I have been overwhelmed being left alone to finish tasks and he has stepped in and lent a hand.

Debbie has been so kind and gracious to come over to 274 whenever I need any help or have any questions, or even just takes the time to train me on something when it became relevant. She trained me when everyone was out, on top of her regular work duties. She always has the best attitude!
Dr. Sandra Warner, Executive Director – Mission Continuity & Risk Management – Nominated by Justin McDaid
Dr. Warner created and developed a team for the purposes of building a viable Mission Continuity program at JCCC. In simple language, Sandra brought together the people, knowledge, and resources that made the plan that kept JCCC in operation throughout much of the past two years. It can’t be overstated how important these efforts were to the continued smooth operation of the college, and the ability for us to serve our students and community.

Jeff Taylor, Multimedia Eng. & Event Specialist

Josh Yoder, Multimedia Eng. & Event Specialist
– Nominated by Tai Edwards
For the last year, but especially over the summer and fall of 2021, the Audio-Visual Services team has been instrumental to so many facets of campus operations. They facilitate meetings that are hybrid or over zoom, they coordinate, manage, and provide technical support to zoom webinars that are for both instruction and public programming. It’s almost like everything we’re doing right now requires their assistance and expertise. This team has always been central to campus success, but more so now than ever, their work is critical to our flexibility and “meeting people/students where they are” services. Sometimes I marvel at just how many of my own meetings, zoom events, etc. require one or more members of this team. Audio Visual Services is critical infrastructure at JCCC that serves every aspect of our population. I am exceedingly grateful for their work and find their expertise critical to my service to students and the community. Thank you!!
