Dena Gray Named Excellent Eagle Employee
Congratulations to Dena Gray, Senior Administrative Assistant in Student Life, who has been selected as an Excellent Eagle Employee by the Staff Advisory Council. To thank you for such a wonderful job, Dena will have a reserved parking spot of her choosing through Friday, July 29th.
Here is what one of Dena’s co-workers said about her:
“She is always the first in the office and the last to leave. She jumps in and helps as needed and is great with concerned families and students. She truly deserves to be able to park a little closer since we lost our parking lot in Marye House due to the construction in Randolph and Mason.”
To nominate an Excellent Eagle Employee, just send an email to Dre Anthes at (aanthes@umw.edu) with Excellent Eagle Employee in the subject line. In your email, be sure to tell me the person’s name, department, work location (with the most convenient parking lot), and the reason why you believe the employee should be recognized. Please spread the word to other employees about this wonderful opportunity to recognize a co-worker.
