Employees honored for contributions, years of
service
Shippensburg University recently honored employees for their
achievements and years of service, including presentation of the Employee
Recognition Award.
The Employee Recognition Award is given for innovative
ideas, problem solving, team effort, customer service, and community/volunteer
service. Seventeen nominations involving 26 employees were reviewed. Recipients
were Gregg Naylor, Dennis Robinson, and Shirley
Smith.
Naylor, an equipment operator, demonstrated exceptional customer service during the PASSHE Emerging and Innovative Teaching, Learning and Assessment Practices to Ensure Student Success conference at the university.
Gregg not only provided directions to the CUB but gave participants a ride to the event because
of the heavy rain. His action gave a positive
impression of the institution.
Robinson, coordinator of off-campus programs from the Office of
Professional, Continuing & Distance Education Studies, is recognized for his innovative idea. He designed and implemented the Capital Area Consortium
of Higher
Education which provides ongoing leadership and guidance to the workforces in the Harrisburg area and was involved in founding
of the Hanover Area Young Professionals group. Both initiates provide recruiting avenues for the university’s graduate programs.
Smith, administrative assistant for the Office of the Vice
President for Information Technology & Services, was an instrumental lead in the development, customization, implementation, and transition to the new graduate assistantship hiring and tracking system which provides the most user friendly process for the students, faculty, staff, and administrator.
She worked
closely with the IT department and vendors throughout the process to ensure the project remained
on task.
