Auxiliary Services
From the time the pandemic started, she has worked in the office everyday to ensure we had someone to provide lock out keys, move in keys to residents, and help vendors. This role could have been rotated among staff. Robin thought it would be better for one consistent person to reduce cross exposure so she volunteered to be the administrative person in the office. Robin goes above and beyond to make life for our students better.
Office of the Vice Chancellor, Student Affairs
Jess has been the best help this past month while she has been given extra responsibilities. She is the best example of what OVCSA does and keeping our team on top of what needs to be done. I feel like we are ahead with our events for the remainder of the year because Jess has taken initiative and let us know what she needs from us. She is always bringing new ideas and finding ways to innovate Student Affairs.
Student Life & Leadership
The registration process for campus organizations has drastically changed via the CampusGroups platform. Last year was the first year implementing the process, and summer served as the first transition from one academic term to another. With a lot of unknowns regarding the process, Nicole Inouye has served as a guiding light in making sure that our team was prepared in the best way possible. She has been our champion to ensure that we are thorough. Nicole focused on how she could best support the students and staff.
Wellness, Health & Counseling Services
As a contributing member of our OIT Management Committee, and overseeing some of the most critical systems in our department, Herbert is dedicated to working long hours and weekends to ensure that all processes have been approved and patient care is without compromise. Herbert has developed the talent of figuring out the processes necessary to get things done, works hard to organize people and activities, and has come to an understanding of how to best separate and combine tasks into a more efficient work flow. We are truly fortunate to have him on our team!
