The College of Social Sciences and Humanities is pleased to announce the winners of the 2020 CSSH Outstanding Staff Awards. CSSH will celebrate our award winners at an in-person faculty and staff celebration when we can hold in-person gatherings again.

Staff members are nominated by their colleagues, and the CSSH Staff Advisory Council advise on the process.

The winners of the 2020 CSSH Outstanding Staff Awards are:

    • Both faculty and staff colleagues described Kirsten as a tireless advocate and mentor for students, and a critical ambassador who supports and welcomes new administrative staff.
  • Janette Briceno, Administrative Coordinator – Department of Political Science, Lazer Lab
    • Described as “indispensable,” nominators recognized Janette for her leadership across a diverse slate of duties and her willingness to step up when new initiatives and challenges arise.
  • Jacquaetta Hester, Graduate Administration Coordinator – Department of Economics
    • Praised for her commitment to supporting the department’s many graduate students with warmth and enthusiasm, nominators also recognized Jacquaetta’s ability to excel in the complicated technical components of her role.
