Todd McCall, Head Athletic Trainer

todd mccall

"I have witnessed Todd's devotion to his position as athletic trainer and to the student athletes at 欧美AV. He went above and beyond to ensure each student was tested and given instructions on next steps regarding the COVID-19 virus. He strived to keep my office updated in order for my staff to produce academic notifications in a timely manner. This became a very tedious process, but he always got the information that we needed to us. Honestly, I have no idea how he kept up with it all, but he did. He is a Rockstar!"

Laura Laughlin, Director of Orientation and Transition Programs

"Although our paths do not intersect often, I do see her working hard to help prepare the office and the position for a search for a full-time director. In the short time, she has been involved in the office, we have all seen a cleaned-up web presence and a name change, which included an intentional, and, I think, an effective marketing campaign to roll out that announcement. I have also noticed a bounce in some of the office staff's steps. Perhaps related to that, I was pleased to hear that Laura tasked Megan Wilkinson, the Assistant Director, with crafting some objectives and key results for the office's submission to the VPSA office's strategic planning efforts. Professional development opportunities like that will only help support the office's future development."

Belinda Patterson, Event Management Coordinator for Parking Management

"Belinda is always willing to lend a helping hand and go above and beyond when needed. She is someone willing to step in and get the job done alongside the rest of her team when necessary. She is not someone who stands around on the outside and just tells others what to do. She would never say "That is not my job." She responds quickly and works with us to make sure we are satisfied." 

Julie Reid, PhD, Associate Dean for Undergraduate Affairs

julie reid

鈥淎s chairwoman of the VPSA Screening Committee, Julie was fully responsible for ensuring the committee members were organized, attended meetings, and asked thoughtful interview questions. She also collected and organized multiple rounds of feedback and created the committee鈥檚 final report to Dr. Moser. . . . The most commendable aspect is the fact that she approached this task with all the seriousness it deserved [and] she brought that disposition to every single interaction she had with this process."
