UCI Student Affairs Employees of the Month
Auxiliary Services
John and Quamin worked every weekend from mid-March to the end of June, to ensure all high touch areas in Palo Verde received disinfection on Saturday and Sunday. They would rotate who worked Saturday and who worked Sunday to perform these responsibilities. Additionally, on weekends when Arroyo Vista had trouble finding staff to disinfect, they came in both days to assist in Arroyo Vista and Palo Verde. They performed the duty without complaint to help stop the spread.

Office of the Vice Chancellor, Student Affairs
Josh always goes the extra mile for Student Affairs to ensure student success at UCI, and his work on this year’s Virtual Commencement Ceremonies is no exception. Over the past few months leading up to the Ceremonies on June 13, Josh worked quickly and tirelessly along with the Commencement team to create a robust Commencement Registration system with validation from the Registrar to ensure the registration of 7,400 eligible graduates for this year’s online ceremony.
Student Life & Leadership
Andrea has become a true cornerstone of the Center for Student Leadership. In the few short years since she has worked in our Center, our Leadership Programs and intern teams have taken on a new life and transformed to meet their true potential. While Andrea managed the day to day student engagement in the center, she was also planning a virtual resource fair for SPOP and spearheading our efforts to develop a virtual Spanish language orientation for new anteater parents and guardians.
Wellness, Health & Counseling Services
Jonathan has an amazing, encouraging, warm and inspiring spirit he shares with the CC team and the students he encounters. He has taken on a leadership role to help the campus personalize the Everfi program for incoming first-years to ensure access to MH resources and increase awareness about MH struggles that are common for incoming students. He is the voice in our Counseling Center and campus that speaks with integrity, advocacy, intentionality and REALNESS. When I think of this Employee of the Month recognition, Jonathan is this person always.
