Valerie Ennis, Admissions Assistant at Southeastern Technical College, was recently named 2021 Staff Member of the Year.
The staff member of the year award is a prestigious award created to recognize a staff member who has exemplified excellence in their day-to-day job, as well as contributed in other ways to make Southeastern Technical College a success during the past year. The award is given to an employee of the College who is neither a faculty member nor a member of the Executive Council. Benefits include a cash award from the STC Foundation, an engraved plaque, and a designated parking space to use throughout 2021. Ennis said, “Admissions is the face of STC. It is an applicant's first impression of the College; therefore, attitude, warmth, and customer service are crucial to making a connection with applicants and promoting a positive image for STC. I feel that I embody these attributes and contribute to the positive, caring, student-oriented first impression that STC is known for. I could not be included in a more deserving finalist group and I am honored to be associated with the current nominees, former nominees, and previous winners. These are individuals that model the positive, caring, supportive, and family-orientated work environment of which I am proud to be a member.” The 2021 finalists were Valerie Ennis, Admissions Assistant, Gina Robison, Dean of Business Technologies and Human Services, and Melanie Walker, Student Navigator/VA Specialist/ Financial Aid.
