Alicia Tisdale Named Excellent Eagle Employee for October

The Staff Advisory Council is pleased to recognize Alicia Tisdale as the Excellent Eagle Employee for October. The award for this honor is a designated parking space of the awardee’s choosing.

Alicia is distinguished in having two champions, or those who nominated her for the award.

Laura Allison wrote:

Alicia is absolutely fantastic! She works with students, parents, staff, and faculty on a daily basis. No matter what she’s working on, or how busy she may be, Alicia always has a smile on her face. She provides phenomenal internal and external customer service, and her professionalism should be an example to us all. Alicia is an advocate for the Lee Hall front line staff, and always pays attention to detail. She is always willing to jump in and help out on a project. She provides invaluable insight due to the vast institutional knowledge she possesses. Alicia truly is a representation of what an Excellent Eagle is, and the University is lucky to have her!

Accompanying that, Alicia’s other champion, Angela Lilly, wrote:

Alicia always has a professional demeanor and a willingness to help with any situation.  She is a pleasure to work with on projects.  She displays excellent customer service with a smile for her co-workers, UMW students and everyone that she interacts with.

Congratulate Alicia when you see her, and remember to send nominations for Excellent Eagle Employee to Excellent Eagle Employee nomination.

Charles Tate Named Excellent Eagle Employee

Charles Tate

Congratulations to Charles Tate, Student Success Coordinator, who has been selected as the Excellent Eagle Employee for the month of October. A parking spot of his choosing has been reserved for him through the end of the month.

Here is what a coworker said about him:

“Charles is such a great advocate for our students, always putting their needs before anything else.  As Student Success Coordinator, Charles has openly stated that he believes that the university has a duty to support their students from pre-admission advising through graduation – and his actions reveal this philosophy so well.

The Office of Academic and Career Services is very fortunate to have Charles on their team!”
