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:

    • 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.
