Edison State
Recognizes Employee Excellence
Edison State Community College recognized two outstanding employees at
its annual spring convocation ceremony on January 9 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.”
Veronica French, Academic Project Specialist for Academic Affairs, and
Brian Leingang, Associate Professor of English, were named employees of
the 2016 fall semester at the annual ceremony. Kara Myers presented
each of the recipients with a personal plaque and a designated parking
space.
Veronica French, of Piqua, is often commended for her willingness to
help, professional integrity, and commitment to her job. French has
performed well as a team player with one nominator saying, “I do not
believe I could have learned how to do my job and perform as well
without Veronica’s assistance.” Veronica’s level of commitment to her
job inspires others to take on the same warm, respectful, and
cooperative attitude she displays. Another nominator added, “Her
friendship, sympathy, and smile have made coming to work a daily joy!”
Brian Leingang, who holds a Master of Arts in English and Literature,
was selected for his consistent demonstration of professionalism,
prompt communication, flexibility, and consideration of others’
interests and needs. Leingang, of Pleasant Hill, has displayed
excellent leadership, a positive attitude, exceptional communication
skills, and an open mind since beginning at Edison State. One nominator
said, “Brian has moved the English and Communication Departments
forward. He has been a pleasure to work with!”
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.
