Best Bee Award
Congratulations!
|
Please congratulate Paula Carlsen on being selected RCTC’s Best Bee Team for the month of April! Paula Carlsen has worked at RCTC since 1994 and presently serves in the role of Enrollment Services Liaison. Paula’s nominator indicated that she displays RCTC’s values in the following ways: Innovation: Paula came on board about a year ago as a new member of the admissions/enrollment services staff. One of the first things she took on was our Preview Days. She immediately recognized where the program could be improved and took steps to enhance the experience to the WOW level. Her innovative ideas took a good program and made it stellar. Fun: Paula is all about fun which starts with her very positive attitude and willingness to jump right in and make work a joy. Learner-Centered: Paula is right on target onthis one as was attested to by folks working with the Secret Shopper. One of the employees raved about how she was treated on a campus visit, and how Paula skillfully went through all of the details about entering college, finding aid, and taking course work. Teamwork: I have had Paula fill the gap in the past for one of our program leaders. She did a stellar job as a team player and I was constantly reminded of what an excellent job she did to work with all the individuals on her team. Respect: She has always not only shown respect, but she is respected. When a person asked at the Secret Shopper meeting who was the person who helped so much at the college visitation day, even before the words were out of out of the representative’s mouth, the room chimed in together “Paula” showing that her reputation precedes her as someone who genuinely understands what it means to service students and the college. Excellence: Frankly that word should have Paula’s picture next to it. She is EXCELLENT!. As Best Bee, Paula will receive the employee of the month parking space for the month of April.

Work Teams who receive this award will be recognized through publicizing the award in the Crossings, on a "recognition" web site, possibly on our digital wall, their very own "pizza party" and gifts.
