She runs conductive weekly meetings, clearly articulates her expectations for her staff, and is important in program planning. … Molly is an organized and effective hall director. … She is a critical part of the staff of Palmer/Piccolo.
Resident Assistant — Andrew Ellis Excerpts from his nomination: Andrew Ellis really took the lead on one of our most successful hall-wide programs of the year (the Cookout). … Andrew not only volunteered for tasks above and beyond his share, but also personally ensured that every detail was addressed. … Even when we had grill problems, his positive attitude and creative problem-solving skills were indefatigable until it was resolved. Truly, this social community-building program would not have been half as successful without Andrew’s leadership.
Spotlight — WFU Facilities Team
Excerpts from the nomination: A heating malfunction set off fire sprinklers in the Taylor Hall Lounge. Carpets and furniture were drenched with the water that could be seen coming out from the doors to the lounge. Not only is our lounge functioning again, but carpeting was replaced within a week.
