AWARDS
Mira Aceves, GEO Team Consultant, Information Technology
Mira is extremely knowledgeable in her field (and beyond — ask her about tropical fish!), personable, kind, interesting and interested in whatever problem you are having with your computer. She really went beyond the call of duty to get me up and running on a new computer and answered problems that I had had for months but was unable to figure out. She is a pleasure to work with and a great member of the SSU team! —Robert Girling, Department of Business Administration
Lisa Gregori, Information Specialist, Financial Aid Office
During our fall rush in the Financial Aid Office Lisa went above and beyond
the call of duty to assist a student who was at risk of being disenrolled
from his courses. Lisa's quick action and ability to get the necessary paperwork
ready for the student to complete was crucial in preventing him from being
dropped from his classes. The student applied for financial aid extremely
late (08/23/2006) and by the time disenrollment was going to occur he still
owed the University the full balance for his tuition and fees. The action took
place on 09/14/2006. As a result, the student was not disenrolled from classes
and he was able to receive his financial aid. This example is just one
of many that I've witnessed Lisa perform in her role as an Information Specialist
for the Financial Aid Office here at Sonoma State University. I feel that Lisa
should be recognized for the high caliber of customer service that she gives
to the students and parents, staff and faculty at SSU.

Lisa Andresen, Talmadge Savage and their crew, Dining Services
Hutchins lower division students recently had a field trip for 74 students
to Ukiah and the Clear Lake area. Lisa Andresen and Talmadge Savage
really went above and beyond in helping us with the lunch orders, sorting
out those with meal plans, loading the box lunches and drinks into boxes
and onto hand trucks, and finding a large cooler and ice to keep everything
cool. And all of their gracious help happened before 8:30 a.m.! Thanks
again for helping our field trip to be a success!
