McKinty awarded CEHS Staff Council Staff Star Award for April 2014

09 Apr 2014    

CEHS Staff Council congratulates to Marj McKinty, Administrative Associate in the Nebraska Center for Research on Children, Youth, Families and Schools, for being selected as the April 2014 recipient of the CEHS Staff Star Award.

Some comments made by Marj’s nominator include:

• Marj fulfills her role outstandingly, going above and beyond in everything she does. She routinely anticipates the needs of everyone with whom she works and strives to fill these needs even before they become evident. Marj meets every request efficiently and effectively, and juggles the many, many tasks that are part of her regular responsibilities while still being effective in meeting the multiple "urgent" requests that come her way.
• Always greeting everyone with a warm smile and a pleasant word, Marj is quick to stop what she is working on to meet someone else's request, and then goes back to her work as though the interruption were not an interruption for her. She is able to provide solutions when others see problems.
• Marj provided exceptional staff support for our Big Idea Seminar Event which entailed multiple months of planning and preparation bringing together faculty, researchers and students across multiple departments, colleges and within the community. Her organizational skills, positive engagement and efficiency contributed greatly throughout the planning and implementation process. It was not only a joy to work with Marj but also to learn from her on how to work graciously under stress and pressure, and how to efficiently tackle multiple tasks and demands.

 
Please stop by Mabel Lee Hall 216 to congratulate Marj. She is very deserving of this award!
