Student Employee of the Semester Award - Spring 2015

Each semester we award one of our student employees with the "Student Employee of the Semester Award" in web services. This semester's award was given to our student intern, Yaritza Corrales.

Morgan Hammond, Yaritza Corrales, Daphne Hunt

Yaritza is a star-performer in everything that she does in Web Services. She has made great strides in collecting and placing content for our new degree pages. Yaritza has well-written communication and has done well with tackling difficult situations. Her eager attitude and pleasant demeanor has made an impact in our office. She is quick to share ideas and suggest new opportunities for engagement.

Web Services has had a busy semester, and could not have completed the large number of projects and tasks without having such a strong team. We look forward to continuing to serve the university this summer as we continue to roll-out our new responsive degree program pages.

Student Employee of the Semester for Summer 2014!

We awarded the Student Employee of the Semester for Summer 2014 last night, and the award went to Maria Guillen!

Maria is a very hard-working student, taking much initiative to get work done for the College of Business Administration (COBA) on her own. She is skilled at organizing information on the web and collecting student testimonials for COBA's website. Maria works with faculty in order to get information needed for the college's websites. She will be graduating with her B.S. in Computer Information Systems in December, therefore moving on to new horizons. We are going to miss her!

We also had the opportunity to take a group photo of all the Web Services employees last night. I'm so proud of this team and all of their accomplishments and talents. Every single person is valued and appreciated in this office and I am so looking forward to working with this team this year!

Celebrating our students, and an announcement!

Today we had our end-of-semester party and the awarding of the "Student Employee of the Semester." We celebrated by having a fajita party and just hanging out together. I think we all had a nice, relaxing lunch before the #tsufinalsfrenzy begins this evening!

The winner of the award for the spring semester is Jennifer Kiggins. Jennifer has been an excellent intern for us in so many ways. She is professional, considerate, and creative, always tackling her work with dedication and a smile.  Jennifer is a natural leader and is an encouragement to her co-workers through her example. Jennifer will be continuing her internship with us this fall and we look forward to seeing much more of her work within the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences.

Morgan, Jennifer, and Daphne

We have so many valuable student interns/technicians and I honestly don't know how this office would function without them. We appreciate each and every one of them.

We are looking forward to spending the summer working on the new responsive website roll-out and focusing on the college/department websites. We are finishing up the subpage template designs this month and they should be ready for use in June.

Lastly, I would like to announce that we are creating campus community courses for web accessibility, creating accessible emails, how to market your department, and advanced Cascade Server. We should be able to begin offering some of these courses during the next couple of months!
