Staff Spotlight!

Office Coordinator Jen Savas over at CCRH is our next staff spotlight! Here is what her nominator had to say about her work: "Jen runs Central Campus efficiently and with overwhelming kindness. She is always on top of student concerns, sending us names for check-ins and care forms, and always has an open door and a cozy office for students to take a load off. She is dialed in, her key box is always stocked, and she is a great communicator. She treats the RAs with respect, and they all adore her. She is the best Office Manager we could ever ask for, and some recognition is deserved!" 

Thank you Jen for you commitment to students at UVM!
