An Essential Piece: Robert Boyd

Spring greetings from the Office of Student Employment! We are gearing up for our campus-wide celebration of National Student Employment Week, April 11-15. Our theme this year is "Essential Pieces." In anticipation of the celebration, we'll reveal our Student Employee of the Year Nominees on this blog over the next two weeks. Each day, we'll introduce you to two nominees in the morning and the afternoon.

So, meet Nominee Robert Boyd, a media relations assistant for DU Athletics and Recreation.

Boyd, a senior who is studying International Business, has been employed with Athletics and Recreation for four years. He is a tremendous asset to the department, managing day-to-day media relations for the university's golf teams, according to his nominators, Erich Bacher, Director of Media Relations, and Nicole Dupes, Associate Director of Media Relations. His assistance with media relations for the gymnastics team and his professional demeanor proved so invaluable, his supervisors sent him to California to be the media point person during a competition. Boyd is the first student in the department to have earned such an honor, according to Bacher and Dupes. Thanks for all your hard work, Robert!
