Storyline Edit. Add content advisory. Did you know Edit. But she has constantly kept herself abreast of the latest, particularly regarding computer skills.
Recognize that in that 23 years we have gone from PCs to emails, data bases, computer targeting tools, micro-targeting, CSMs and more. We work hard, 12 months a year. But in the weeks leading up to a race and particularly the week of a race we often work 18 hours or more a day.
She has told many members of our staff how they are expected to conduct themselves. Because we all expect that of each other. She has set the standard for our culture here. Everybody is to be treated honestly, openly and fairly.
You get praised when you do well, but she has also gone to staff members to encourage them to improve their performance. She develops relationships with everyone she speaks with, including those she only talks to on the telephone but has never met.
She will be at her desk on a Saturday two weeks before a race doing odd little administrative things she knows must be done because she also knows she will have to dedicate her time on the days immediately prior to the race to the impossible-to-anticipate issues that will arise.
She out works everybody. She is my eyes and ears. She has pointed out big and little things done by a staff member to make sure I notice them. She has done all of these countless times through the years. She has put up with me since I must be honest…I got tired of me in NOMINEE has a unique opportunity to manage and support the day-to-day facilities and administrative operations for our continually growing office s.
He ensures the physical office space is maintained to the highest standards possible and support team members company wide. He is experienced in handling a wide range of administrative and executive support related tasks. Additionally, he has the greatest ability to partner successfully with the entire team and is very approachable.
Transparency and his great communication skills are also just a few of his fabulous attributes. Always responding to the most wayward requests and anticipating future event needs; potential problems; and more. He always has solutions in the works. When he joined us, he picked things up very quickly, and immediately filled in the gaps where balls had dropped from small actions coming in on the weekend to build outstanding desks for everyone to very large projects consolidating our company to one side of the building and having construction done to build out a new kitchen and more i.
He has music playing for the office when we get in in the morning and such a positive disposition. At the same time, he is warm, welcoming, and grounded. As has been the case since the day he joined us, he continues to be a binding force for our office and continues to work his magic often behind the scenes in ensuring each of us are taken care of, in every imaginable way. We thank him for kicking off his day by or before 7am no matter where he is, and for working weekend after weekend to ensure things are seamless when we walk into the office Monday morning.
He is constantly thinking about how to improve things. He not only is a great colleague, super friendly; but also very professional and well organized. She is the child of refugees who escaped their home country and settled in the US. She overcame the multi-generational trauma inflicted on refugees to graduate and thrive as an administrative professional in higher education. I only recently began chairing the Ethnic Studies department and have a lot of new initiatives that I am introducing to the department.
NOMINEE has been able to support me in these initiatives by identifying resources across the university to aid in the initiatives. Her ability to identify university resources has been a great help in advertising Ethnic Studies department courses and programming. She also networks with other university offices and suggests how we can work with those offices to better serve our students. She developed and launched several data collection projects in the department to determine how students interact with the department.
She hopes that such data can be used by the faculty members to show how much time they spent mentoring students in annual merit reviews. She has developed student surveys to inform our curriculum offerings. She accomplishes her job tasks and takes on extra work.
Her organization allows her to get things done efficiently and within budget. In her short time within the university, she has transformed the Ethnic Studies department- our procedures, even our office layout, and all for the better.
When I come up with new ideas as chair, she is there to help me execute those ideas. She is indispensable to the department. She spent 5 years working in special education at a charter school. She also established and runs her own apparel business.
She has reorganized all of our files. That is, she has better organized previous files, creating a logical department archive where there was not one before. She has created new processes to make the department run more efficiently. For example, she created folders and checklists for faculty travel to streamline the process of reconciling travel expenses after official university travel.
Noting that students often entered our office and seemed lost, she created a front desk reception area. Students and staff have all remarked how much more welcoming it is now.
Beyond that, the front desk is also part of a new effort to collect student interaction data. The student workers at the front desk log what the students ask for and which faculty members they go to see. This data will help us decide what types of literature to have available for students based on the questions they ask. It will also help faculty demonstrate how much time they spend with students.
Prior to her tenure, student workers were little utilized. Mostly, they would make copies when asked. She gave them more responsibility, explaining to them how the professional training she gave them will help them in their future careers.
She offered training in how to write professional emails, how to verbally communicate professionally, how to create eye-catching marketing material, how to use social media to reach our current and potential students. She has made contacts across the university in order to ensure that we have access to university resources for marketing our curricular offerings. She has also become familiar with university wide initiatives so that we can be part of those initiatives and better serve efforts to retain our students and support our students to successful completion of their degrees.
She has also signed up for administrative professional trainings in our area. In addition to that she keeps an eye out on HR and Office of Information Technology trainings the university offers.
She attends and suggests that faculty attend these trainings so that we can all make use of technology that would make collaborating easier, especially since quite a few of our faculty now teach online and are not physically in the office as much. I want to underscore that she came from an under-privileged community and overcame many barriers to earn an advanced degree and become a higher educational admin. Recently, she helped organize her year high school reunion because she was her student body president her senior year.
Her class was the first to graduate since it was a newly opened school at the time. Somehow, she juggled the rigors of this job with organizing a reunion in another state remotely, all while fixing up a house she recently purchased.
Her organization skills make her so efficient, and she does everything with a smile. I really cannot say enough amazing things about her. She is definitely my rookie of the year. She does not shy away from a challenge, which sets her apart from some peers. She consistently demonstrates a can-do attitude and will find a way to solve a problem. She is also a trusted member of the leadership team she supports and is included in strategic staff discussions. She understands how to navigate sensitive situations and ensure confidentiality while also eager to learn the business, so her support is meaningful for the leaders.
She had a vision to foster team spirit with forms of recognition and camaraderie in creative ways. With this vision in mind, she set out a thoughtful approach to team engagement through the calendar year. Highlights of this include:. NOMINEE balances cost and requested the leadership team to contribute a small monetary donation for raffle gifts for the broader teams. She and a few of her peers creatively produced theme-based gift baskets very inexpensively but with high value and had a white elephant exchange during a potluck holiday lunch.
Each one was put together elegantly and with the team in mind. We did this twice with our most recent event in July — extending the holiday spirit through the year.
The teams laughed, had a chance to connect with each other, and took away some great prizes! In addition, there is an MVP award along with a team award. She insists that any business update should recognize teams for their outstanding tenure and contributions.
In addition, she has led a monthly birthday program. Posting individuals on a chart for all to see monthly and carving out 1 hour to celebrate with cake, ice cream, or other creative treats. She is extremely cost conscious and finds ways to drive a big impact without breaking the bank.
No one asks her to do this, this is just how she operates. To support all the examples noted above, below are a few quotes from current and past colleagues leadership and peers. Together, this amplifies her efforts internally and externally and reinforces her daily behaviors and positive impact. She provides guidance and support, at a tactical level as well, to each of the individual team members daily.
She is an amazing source of information and resourceful and efficient in getting things done for everyone. You can secretly nominate a female friend or relative by following a few simple steps. Check the "What Not to Wear" website for the most up-to-date details about casting for the show, including visits to major U.
During the next couple of months, the show is schedule to be casting in person in cities that include Miami, Norfolk, Austin, New Orleans, Charleston and Phoenix, so check the website for the latest casting call information. Nominate someone via the website, especially if you can't make the in-person casting calls. So, when the footage was shown for the episode, it was no surprise to anyone.
In nine seasons, What Not to Wear had never shown a behind-the-scenes episode. For the most part, participants were willing and enthusiastic and pleasant to work with. The participant loved to dress only in camouflage and was very reluctant to get rid of her all-camo clothing. In the episode, more focus went into showing what producers say, how the show is shot, and general insight to how an episode is made, probably to salvage what they could since it the actual episode wasn't a good watch.
Like most reality shows, What Not to Wear had long filming days. Most episodes took 2 days of filming and a few more days of editing and reshooting, so total time on the episodes you see aired ran about one week. Many participants found the experience consumed a lot of their energy and time. Another time-consuming factor was reshooting. Participants and hosts were often asked to say or do something multiple times so the camera and sound crew could get the perfect shot. This especially made for long days as the show recorded hours and hours of footage to chop down in the minute episode viewers see.
However, many of the clothes chosen in stores don't fit exactly right. The clothes purchased are right from the racks of real stores, but most of the clothes are tailored to fit the participant before the final reveal. At that point, the clothing fits perfectly.
