The two centers she oversees as office manager have experienced many changes in the last year or so and she was newly hired this Spring. She has implemented several new processes and procedures that help make our centers run more efficiently and smoothly. She is organized and well-experienced with Excel, organizational tools, etc. She puts above and beyond effort into thinking through the best way to efficiently get the work done and to keep everyone organized. Her systems help keep the office suite functioning. Having her join our team has been a positive impact and I hope she knows how much we appreciate her.鈥�

Harrison is not only nominated for her organizational skills and for keeping the office running, but for her positive attitude.

鈥淪he is as sweet as can be,鈥� her nominator said. 鈥淩ecently a colleague of ours took another job and Erin organized a going away party for her. She put a lot of time and effort into making it special for our colleagues. She donated her time and talents of baking to the cause. It was special and a great opportunity for us all to come together. We had a wonderful lunch and shared many laughs. Another example is Erin has volunteered to do the baking of treats to celebrate staff members' birthdays. She is often doing little things for others in the office and it does not go unnoticed.鈥�

Harrison is commended for how she is as a supervisor to student workers.

She puts a lot of effort into her work and it is very much appreciated. She is quiet and humble, but she has made a huge impact in the short time she has been here thus far.
