MACOMB, IL – The Civil Service Employees Council (CSEC) at °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÀúÊ·¼Ç¼ is pleased to announce that Yvonne Oliver, secretary IV in the School of Music, has been selected as the August Civil Service Employee of the Month.

Oliver was commended by her nominatores for having a great concern for the students and going out of her way to help them. In addition, “she uses excellent judgment and is a problem-solver.”

“She is excited about the talent the students demonstrate and wants only the best for them,” wrote a nominator. “Yvonne demonstrates a love for her job and she’s more than willing to take on assignments outside of her job description.”

Oliver began working on campus in the University Union food service department in 1984 through 1988. She returned to Western in 1997 as a secretary III in the Graduate Studies department. Two years later she transferred to the Physical Plant where she worked until her promotion to secretary IV in the School of Music in March 2000.

“WeÂ’d like to congratulate Yvonne on a job well-done and for making °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÀúÊ·¼Ç¼ students a priority,” said Janet Koll, CSEC public relations officer. “YvonneÂ’s commitment to her work and the students helps make the University the best it can be.”

Western faculty, staff and administrators, as well as community members, wishing to nominate a civil service employee for this recognition should call Koll at 309/298-1811 or e-mail JM-Koll@wiu.edu.
