Employees of the Semester
Edison State Community College recognized outstanding employee
performance at its most recent all-campus meeting in the Robinson
Theater at the Piqua Campus.
The Employee of the Semester awards speak to college’s commitment to
quality and sustaining positive employee engagement.
“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,” said
Kara Myers, Coordinator of Employee Engagement and Talent Acquisition.
Rick Roberts, Associate Professor of Nursing and Sharon Thomas, College
Resource Specialist were named the spring employees of the semester
during the meeting. Kara Myers presented the pair with personalized
plaques and reserved parking spaces for the upcoming fall semester.
Rick Roberts, of Pleasant Hill, was selected for his enduring
leadership and consistent support he provides to both students and
other employees. “Rick is an asset to the nursing program. He has taken
charge of many valuable projects and organizing groups to implement
necessary changes in the nursing department. Before the sun rises every
day, Rick is here and he’s always available to help others,” said a
nominator. Roberts has been employed at Edison State for ten years and
holds a Master of Science in Nursing from Wright State University.
As a College Resource Specialist, Sharon Thomas, of Troy, is the first
person many people speak to when they visit or call Edison State.
“Sharon operates with excellent professional integrity... She refuses
to lower her respect for others even when those very people fail to
respect her. Her consistent interactions and fairness result in people
knowing that she will do her best to assist them regardless of how the
day has been going,” said a nominator. Thomas has been employed at
Edison State for approximate five years and holds an Associate of Arts
from Edison State.
All Edison State employees who demonstrate a commitment to the
performance excellence goals, core values, and continued growth are
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.
