From time to time in our careers we come across colleagues who are truly special. And you
know it when you meet them and you see it over time: the way they treat colleagues,
people, and students. And I have had the privilege to work with this person for almost eight
years. Diane Jones had been nominated for staff employee of the month. (Clapping)
If you see her just in a normal day she will see a student looking confused or struggling
with something and she just takes it upon herself to see what she can do to help. It’s
consistently those little things.
Diane Jones: It’s just understanding what they really need. A lot of students are not
aware of the college surroundings and so I think working with them gives me an opportunity
to show them and to empower them. President David Harrison: And it’s when
individuals treat students like individuals – so thank you – for leading by example
and everything you do for our students. As I read through the nomination, down to the
point of literally taking students into your home who were in need, that’s not expected
but it’s greatly appreciated. Congratulations. (clapping)
