NBCS Student Staff Recognition Program

Over the past few years, Marina has proven to be a perfect consultant. Always willing to take coverage and go above and beyond what is expected of her, she has made our jobs easy. Her technical competence and extraordinary customer service skills make her an important asset to the Cook/Douglass labs. This semester she has been working more shifts at Loree and the supervisors have had the chance to experience firsthand just how awesome she is. We can always trust that the satellite sites will be in good hands when she is working. She makes sure to inform the supervisors of any problems and goes out of her way to help patrons and coworkers. We are very lucky to have a consultant like Marina on our staff. Congratulations Marina, you are our Consultant of the Month for September 2008!! {lg}

Michiaki has been working in Operations since May, 2007 and started his NBCS career in the labs in September, 2005. He recently graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and will be leaving us at the end of this semester. He will be missed, as he has proven to be a valuable asset to our team. Michiaki is always there to pick up coverage for someone who needs the help and is working three overnights per week for us this semester. His enthusiasm for riding his bike is contagious, even when he rides in to work with a sheared nut, twisted ankle or bruised ribs. We are collectively glad for him to be moving on to the next stage in his career and wish him all the best. {rb,jf}

Vincent has been a consultant with Livingston for one year now. In that time he has learned a great deal about the lab and its operations. Vinny can frequently be seen wandering around the lab assisting users and maintaining a clean work environment. He is also a very active worker, taking the time to acquire new skills and not hesitating to ask questions when he wants to learn something new. We look forward to having Vinny assist us in the Summer months ahead. {cb}

Brady has proven to be an exemplary consultant during her first two months at Livingston. She has helped out by taking coverages numerous and earned Perfect Performance merits. She participated in enhancing the energy and spirit of the lab by helping to decorate the lab for autumn with her superb crayon techniques. On top of this, Brady brings 100% to all of her shifts and is helpful with a smile. Please join us in congratulating Brady for achieving Consultant of the Month! {ew,kw,lw}

Brady is making a triumphant return from a long leave of absence from the Livingston Computing Center. In the month since her return, she has picked up the nickname of Coverage Sniper. Coverages never sit available for long when Brady is around - she takes them all soon after they become available. This is great because the supervisors never have to worry about having gaps in the schedule. Brady is always available to help patrons out with their problems, and is constantly running around to make sure the lab is taken care of before returning to the station. We have never seen Brady walk away from a problem without getting it resolved or assuring the patron that someone will be right back to make sure that it gets resolved. Brady is very sure of herself while assisting the patrons with their problems, something which we are sure the patrons appreciate. We definitely missed Brady and are very glad to have her back starting this semester! Thanks for all the help and welcome back!

This is Rob's first semester working at CAC. In his short tenure here, Rob has quickly become an integral asset to the staff. He is very reliable and trustworthy. He exhibits these characteristics by always being on time or even early to his shifts. We can always count on him being there, even on his opening shift on Monday mornings! From the very beginning, Rob was always very helpful to patrons as well as his fellow consultants. He has gone above and beyond the basic requirements of a consultant by always being willing to help out around the lab. He has done this through troubleshooting hardware and software issues, bringing supplies to other labs, and taking coverage to help out his fellow coworkers. He is very resourceful, and strives to learn new things each day he is on the job. His friendly smile and positive attitude are contagious to the staff around him. His friendly personality is sure to cheer anyone up. For these reasons, we are proud to honor Robert Young as College Avenue's November Consultant of the Month. {kb,bo}

Greg has been working here at College Ave. and has been a vital part of our staff since the Fall of 2007. He is a man of many talents. In addition to being a fun guy, a world class member of the Rutgers crew team, and diligent student, he is a lab-renowned consultant. Greg always shows up to work with a positive attitude in assisting patrons. Not only does he care about helping patrons directly, but he is also very involved in making sure the lab is running efficiently. He has become a tag checking connoisseur during finals, always checking for lost and missing tags. Being a senior, this is sadly Greg's end of a long run at the labs, but if all goes well, we will hopefully be seeing him again in 2012 in London. Smashing good luck Greg! {md,as}
