Extra Effort and Team Effort Awards – December 4, 2020
Megan Casey, Asst. Bursar, Bursar Operations – Nominated by Suzanne Maheu, Dessa Crum, Jaya Daniel and Kim Steinmetz
Megan has been crucial for IISS’ insurance process. We’ve had a lot of exceptions with our insurance provider due to COVID. This has made an already complicated and manual process more cumbersome. Megan has patiently run lists, edited charges, and worked with us through all the exceptions. Megan is an excellent Bursar that supports students through her actions. She is willing to consider the grey areas and support teams. She recognizes her hard work and actions impact the student experience. It’s a joy to work with someone like Megan!

Accomplishment: (Task must have been completed upon this nomination)
Janette, Cassie, and Suzanne planned activities for International Education week – which is a Department of State initiative for colleges and universities to promote the power of international engagement and education. This planning session was unusual as they started planning in person but moved to online planning. The same occurred with our events as well. The goal is to effectively partner across campus, and within areas that work to support international opportunities that are available on our campus. The group planned an online trivia, incorporated already existing events, and ultimately, delivered a virtual international education week. This allowed opportunities for those to engage in our global campus without leaving their homes. They did a fantastic job and created JCCC international trivia for students, faculty, and staff. The team created rewards and provided global learning and engagement. They work together well and always collaborate to make education part of academics, student services, and learner engagement divisions. This partnership highlights the uniqueness of the US educational system which is experiential and activity-based learning.
