Shout-outs From My Colleagues
Shout-outs are kind words from Libraries staff to other Libraries staff for going out of their way to be extra awesome at their job.
Alexa consistently makes the workplace a little bit brighter by going above and beyond — sending kind notes to her colleagues, adding thoughtful touches to meetings, and making it a point to ask people how they're doing. Alexa is intentional about reaching out and noticing when someone did a good job or when they need a boost of confidence, making her a mentor both to the people she supervises and to her colleagues in general. Shout-out to Alexa for her positive attitude & her efforts in helping to make the libraries a great place to work!

Earlier this week, Bertha and Alexa participated in the ABET accreditation visit as part of the College of Engineering's accreditation renewal process. They prepared extremely well for the visit, they arranged spaces for the visiting committee to meet with representatives from the departments in the College of Engineering, they met with one of the accreditors and gave a tour of Hunt while answering the accreditor's questions about how the Libraries supports engineering students. This was a very high profile visit and Bertha and Alexa did an outstanding job representing the Libraries and showcasing our support for the College of Engineering!
