Edison State
Recognizes Employee Excellence
Edison State Community College recognized two outstanding employees at
its annual spring convocation ceremony on January 11 in the Robinson
Theater at the Piqua Campus. The awards speak to College’s commitment
to quality and sustaining positive employee engagement.
“The employee of the semester award is meant to create a culture that
recognizes employees and celebrates accomplishments based upon Key
Result one of Edison State’s 5-year strategic master plan which focuses
on sustaining positive employee engagement,” said Kara Myers,
Coordinator of Employee Engagement and Talent Acquisition.
“These employees make a difference to Edison State and members of the
campus community, go above and beyond expectations, excel as team
players, and strive to demonstrate the College’s core values.”
Dr. Vivian Blevins, Adjunct Professor of Communications and Harold
Hitchcock, Maintenance Coordinator were named employees of the 2015
fall semester at the annual ceremony. Kara Myers presented each of the
recipients with a personal plaque and a designated parking space.
All Edison State employees who demonstrate a commitment to the
performance excellence goals, core values and continued growth were
eligible to be nominated for the award. Those eligible for the award
are nominated by their peers and then selected by the AQIP 4 Valuing
People committee.
In addition to her passion for instructing, Blevins, who holds a Ph.D.
in Education, was commended for her tireless work on behalf of military
veterans, both inside and outside the walls of Edison State. Dr.
Blevins, of Piqua, Ohio, has prompted renewed gratitude throughout the
community for the men and women who are currently serving or have
served our country. She has also graciously and poignantly provided
reminders that every one of us owes our lifestyle and personal freedoms
to these individuals. Dr. Blevins excels as a team player by
incorporating faculty, staff, and students to bring her initiatives to
life.
Hitchcock, of Covington, Ohio, was nominated based upon his
demonstrated ability to maintain a positive attitude even throughout
the most challenging situations. Hitchcock is dedicated to his career,
often working overtime and making himself readily available to handle
job duties no matter the time of day or night. Hitchcock’s positive
attitude has set the tone for the rest of the maintenance staff
influencing an overall positive demeanor and professional level of
support.
