An Essential Piece: Anna Milner

The Suitts Center for Graduate Career Services at the Daniels College of Business is a busy place. It seems to be the perfect fit for Anna Milner, who thrives on multi-tasking and staying occupied at work, according to her supervisor, Patty Hickman, the Center's Assistant Director.

"What makes Anna unique," observes Hickman, "is the consistently high quality of her work, her dedication and enthusiasm for all that she does, her ability to relate well with a wide variety of people, and her positive attitude toward all tasks."  Milner is a second-year graduate student at the Josef Korbel School of International Studies. She graduates in June. Congratulations on your nomination, Anna!

An Essential Piece: Jeannette Le

"If we define 'quality' as 'the ongoing process of building and sustaining relationship by assessing, anticipating, and fulfilling stated and implied needs, than it is safe to say Ms. Le offers an exceptional quality of work at all times," writes Matthew Scarborough of his 2011 Student Employee of the Year Nominee, Jeannette Le. He further describes her as a "leader both inside and outside the office."

The senior, who is majoring in French, helped implement a blog for the DU Department of Languages & Literatures to promote projects and events. With more than three years of experience at the department, she had the know-how to welcome Mr. Scarborough to the office this year and pass on departmental policies and procedures. Le is also active in her community, serving as the Vice President of Finance for the Delta Delta Delta Sorority and volunteering her translation support to a Denver based non-profit, The Convergence Project. Congratulations on a well deserved nomination, Jeannette.

An Essential Piece: Hannah Katz

You know you've made an impact when co-workers view your graduation as bittersweet. Hannah Katz, a 2011 Student Employee of the Year Nominee, has won the admiration of staff at the Office of Student Affairs at Sturm College of Law. The administrative assistant graduates this June.

Katz will receive a master's degree in sport and performance psychology. She also earned her bachelor's degree at DU and readily shares the institutional knowledge she has gained over the years with fellow students and members of the Denver legal community. Her job also entails working at law school events. Thanks, Hannah, for all your excellent work!

An Essential Piece: Samson Eberhart

Great attention to detail is a must in Human Resources at the University of Denver. Samson Eberhart demonstrates this trait in spades, according to his co-workers. He also shows great professionalism, handling inquires at the Human Resources front desk and interacting with current and prospective DU staff and faculty members.

In addition to working and studying International Business, the DU sophomore also is active in the Pioneer Leadership Program. Congratulations to the 2011 Student Employee of the Year Nominee.

An Essential Piece: Mali Darr

Conscientious. Competent. Dedicated. Reliable. These are a few of the words Mali Darr's co-workers draw upon to describe the 2011 Student Employee of the Year Nominee. Darr is an administrative assistant at the University College.

She has been employed with the school of professional and continuing studies at the University of Denver since she began her studies at DU as a freshmen. The now junior is majoring in electronic media arts design. Thanks, Mali, for all your hard work.
