Congratulations to Stephanie Slocum, the January Employee of the Month! Stephanie serves as the dean’s office coordinator in the college.

Since May 1, Slocum has shown a tremendous amount of professionalism and positive energy while being asked to assume a number of critical roles in the Dean’s Office. She helped by “taking on the Dean’s complicated and complex calendar, travel arrangements, and additional administrative support roles. She assisted with the Dean’s Advisory Council and created detailed and thorough minutes for that important meeting. Stephanie managed these additional duties with positivity, thoughtfulness, and a collaborative team-oriented spirit.”
During the same time, Slocum was tasked with handling the logistics for the AREC tours and was also brought in to the CALS Finance team’s reorganization. In this three month period, she “showed a desire to learn, grow, and take on new duties. College administration asked a lot of Stephanie over this time frame and she always approached these requests with a positive attitude, a team spirit, a high level of professionalism, and an ability to follow through and get things done.”
As the January employee of the month, she will receive a plaque, gifts from the college, have her photo displayed in the case in Hutcheson Hall, and will be eligible to be considered for the 2015-16 Employee of the Year award.
Congratulations, Stephanie!
