Employee of the Month

The President's Cabinet, in collaboration with Staff Senate, the Business Office, the Office of Human Resources, and Aramark Food Services is pleased to share with you the Employee of the Month program. This program is designed to recognize those employees who go above and beyond the call of duty by exhibiting excellence and dedication to one or more of Lander's Core Values as we strive to become an employer of choice.

Any Lander employee may nominate any full-time staff member by completing the online Nomination Form located on the HR Forms website. The person completing the form does not have to work in the same department as the staff member being nominated. All nominations will be submitted to the Office of Human Resources for acknowledgement that the employee is in good standing, then forwarded to Staff Senate for discussion and voting. Decisions will be based on which nominee best represents Lander's Core Values.

Nominations received by the last Friday of each month will be considered for the following month's award.

Congratulations to Our Employee of the Month

Kayla Davis 
Administrative Assistant
College of Business

Ms. Kayla Davis has gone above and beyond the call of duty in serving Lander Students. Since her arrival, COB enrollment has increased from 660 to 1005 students. Recently, and at the very height of this increase, Ms. Davis assumed the student advising-related duties of a retired staff member while we awaited a replacement. She also performed her regular duties in her usual outstanding manner … Ms. Davis’ contribution to student services directly impacts the retention of students and, in turn, the Lander University mission … She is highly effective, inventive, adaptive, responsive, and supportive in all situations.

The employees below were also nominated for the June 2023 award and deserve honorable mention.

• Chelsey Driver - Department of Physical Education & Exercise Science
• Karen Hammond - College of Arts & Humanities

Nomination Forms are located on the HR Forms site and should be delivered to Human Resources no later than the last Friday of the month for consideration for the following month's award.
