National Student Employment Week - April 13-19, 2008

 

National Student Employment Week honors our student employees and celebrates the great work that they do! Special thanks to the following student employees from their supervisors:

 You're an Essential Piece!

 

Student Employees: Brian Bina, Andrea Beck, and Amy Cornelius

Supervisors: Barb Erickson and Joanne Beck

Department: Registrar’s Office


Entrusted with a great amount of responsibility, the student employees in the Registrar's Office must maintain the accuracy and the privacy of student academic records. They are responsible for many tasks that directly impact students on the UW-S campus including electronically transferring records from the Admissions office to the Records office and imaging academic student records and attaching them to the appropriate student "file." Their less serious responsibilities including watering the plants and decorating the office for the seasons.

We appreciate their always pleasant personalities and want to thank them for their contributions, work ethic and dedication. We are fortunate to have them.

  

Student Employees: Cassie Grubbe, Choua Xiong, Heather Hansen, Amber King

Supervisor: Kathy O'Flanagan

Cassie…..can’t say enough about her smile, and enthusiastic out look, we are glad she decided to return to UWS.

Choua…..she is a great asset and always eager to work hard.

Heather….she keeps plugging along, ready, willing and extremely able to meet new challenges and deadlines.

Amber…..has a lot of enthusiasm, though she is student teaching this semester we appreciated her dedication and the fact that she was always on time.

Keep up the good work, THANK YOU

Student Employee: The CMO RA/ARC Staff

Supervisor: Jen Bird

Department: Residence Life


I would like to recognize and thank the CMO RA/ARC staff. This group of students does a phenomenal job even in sometimes very tough situations. I have been so impressed with the level of maturity and commitment these students have. They handle many typical day to day situations, but they are also often faced with extremely stressful and difficult situations and they have done a fantastic job handling it all. The CMO staff has done several wonderful programs and have each worked hard to create a safe and supportive living environment. They have built floor communities that are friendly and welcoming. They have truly made the halls feel like a "Home Away from Home." Thanks for all you do!

Student Employee: Ryan Nesvold

Supervisor: John Munson

Department: KUWS Radio - Sports


Ryan is one of the behind the scenes people who helps make KUWS sports broadcasts possible. Without in-studio producers it would be impossible for KUWS to cover sports like UWS Hockey and Basketball or Superior High School Football. The in-studio producer makes the connection to the game site and fills in with news and weather between periods. Ryan also had to prepare high lights for the post game show. When he isn't working sports, Ryan also fills in as a receptionist working at our front desk. We get lots of phone calls at KUWS and whoever is working the desk has to know where to send callers. Ryan has worked at KUWS for three years and is a valuable member of our team. Thank you Ryan!

Student Employee: Amy Hildre

Supervisor: Kim Gustafson

Department: KUWS Radio - Receptionist


Amy has been a vital part of our front desk staff at KUWS for two years. The first contact people often have with our radio station is a friendly voice answering the telephone, and Amy has provided that friendly greeting. In addition, Amy has also kept our community events and public service announcements up to date. Thi s year, she also took on the responsibility of maintaining the Community Calendar page on our web site, www.kuws.fm. During the set up for a recent remote, it was Amy who discovered the unplugged piece of equipment that was preventing us from getting our remote signal on the air -- without her, the program would have been lost. Thank you Amy!

Student Employee: Brandie Smith

Supervisor: John Munson

Department: KUWS Radio - Jazz Director


Brandie Smith took over as Jazz Director at KUWS this year after having worked on the show as an announcer last year. In addition, Brandie also works on our alternative music program, The Deans List. As Jazz Director, Brandie has a lot of responsibility -- supervising other announcers, maintaining the music library, reviewing new music, and making sure that the on-air music inventory is up to date. It's a big job. In addition, Brandie has helped produce UW-Superior basketball broadcasts and has worked on training new staff. Her hard work and dedication have had good results on the air. Thank you Brandie!

Kerissa, I thought I could handle the work load by myself with no Student Worker. WRONG!!!! I can't even begin to tell you how much you have helped me. I am constantly amazed by your work ethic, speed of accomplishing projects, attitude and smiling face. In the few weeks that you've been in the Comm Arts Office, I have gotten completely caught up with my own job duties and it is because you have been right here to take care of little projects, answering the phone and constant interruptions that occur in here daily. I am so grateful that you are here with me (and to Cathy Fank for recommending you). I am truly hoping that this will be a LONG working relationship and you'll be working for me for as long as you are a student at UW-Superior (Please don't leave me for another job). You are the best Student Worker I've had in here in a long time! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Student Employee: Derrick Fredrickson

Supervisor: Scott Abrahamson

It was 8:00am on a Monday morning four years ago; it was the first day of employment for our summer workers. I was standing in our Facilities Management office on 28th Street, informing my supervisor that one student that we had hired for the summer did not show up. At that moment Derrick walked into the office looking for work. Being in the right place at the right time paid off for Derrick and us.

Thanks to Dulcie's hard work it's getting harder to find old, damaged books on the library shelves and much easier to find the new books. It's not a glamorous job to search out and discard those dusty, disintegrating volumes. Dulcie is the best of the best book weeders and knows 101 ways how to find a missing book. No damaged book or lost book can hide from her.

My students are the greatest!  Despite their busy school schedules and all of the usual tasks that they perform on their jobs here in the library, they have put in lots of extra effort this year helping the library prepare for its move.

We also have had the following BeeCroft students working in our office this year: Niharika Bist, Sandrine Omog Samnick, Amos Tarfa and Yves Tegaboue.

Supervisor: Lorraine Washa, Marcia Pekkala, Shane Deadrick and Ben Mooney

Department: Admissions


All of our students play an important and integral part in the day to day operation of the Admissions Office. They do a variety of tasks from data entry, greeting the general public, prospective students and parents, and the campus community to arranging and giving tours of the campus, mailing and disseminating promotional materials about UW-Superior, answering the telephone and calling prospective students.

Our students are invaluable and we could not function without them. We are so fortunate to have so many wonderful students working in the Admissions Office this year. The work load could not be completed without them on a daily basis but we still manage to have fun in our office and appreciate all of their hard work. We want to extend our gratitude and a HUGE 'THANK YOU' of all of them.


 
Student Employees: Matt Amerson, Sampada Gaiwad, Jessica Hill, and Jacob Rosandich

Department: Graduate Studies

The Office of Graduate Studies staff are a lifeline for students, faculty and staff

It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I commend the work of Matt Amerson, Sampada Gaikwad, Jessica Hill and Jacob Rosandich. All are instrumental to our graduate programs by providing computer entry of student records, clerical assistance and customer service for the Offices of Graduate Studies and Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs. They respond professionally by taking care of requests from students, faculty and staff to include answering questions, directing people to the appropriate office, mailings, filing, and researching background information for the smooth processing of graduate records. Individually, they have achieved a level of expertise in a variety of areas:

Matt Amerson works primarily with graduate admission and registrations (A-K), graduate council petitions, and Beecroft Travel Grant requests
Sampada Gaikwad works with the certification PeopleSoft database, graduate forms management, filing, recycling, and the literature organizer.
Jessica Hill works primarily with graduate admission and registrations (L-Z), degree-seeking verification, admissions reports, and current project research.
Jacob Rosandich (graduate student) works with graduate admission and registrations (graduate special students and continuing education), candidacy, graduation, test scores, and transfer credits

Thank you all for being such great positive role models on this campus! These strengths are echoed in the wealth of appreciation this office receives from our graduate students, faculty and staff.

Department: Provost/Dean of Faculties


We have three student workers in our office this year that we want to thank for all their hard work and dedication to the Provost's Office!

Aftin Lozon has been with us for over two years and is our lead student Office Assistant. We appreciate all that Aftin does and appreciate her hard work and planning with our opening semester meetings. We want to let her know we really missed her while she was away in China and are glad she returned to us safely.

Juli Morinville joined us a year ago and we want to let her know that when she was in Mexico we worried about her getting sunburned ☺and were happy to see her safely back with us. We appreciate the attention to her work detail and willingness to put in the extra effort.

Kalli Kucharski is the newest student Office Assistant in our office. We appreciate her good humor and her fun attitude and are pleased to have her join our team. A BIG THANK YOU to all three of you for what you do!
