Edison State Names Employees of the Semester
Edison State Community College recognized outstanding employee
performance at the spring convocation in the Robinson Theater at the
Piqua Campus.
The Employee of the Semester award speaks to Edison State’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
Linda Peltier, Executive Director of Human Resources.
Dr. Loleta Collins, Director of Student Services and Carin Benning,
Adjunct Instructor were named the fall 2018 employees of the semester.
The honorees were presented with personalized plaques and reserved
parking spaces for the upcoming spring semester.
Dr. Collins, of New Carlisle, was selected for her commitment to
helping the students and staff of Edison State Community College.
Collins often volunteers her time to serve on committees and projects,
applying her selfless, can-do attitude.
“Dr. Collins makes Edison State better through the various projects and
events for which she volunteers. Recently, she assisted the Real
Estate program by volunteering to help develop all of their courses to
an online format, which would not be possible without her selflessness.
Her personality, professionalism, knowledge, and mannerisms make her a
role model for her department and an invaluable resource for Edison
State,” said a nominator.
“I applaud Dr. Collins for her work with diversity and celebrating
equality and understanding through her hard work with women’s causes,
such as Women’s History Month, and developmentally disabled students.
Dr. Collins recently worked with faculty and staff to purchase hearing
devices for hearing impaired students, enabling them to attend class
and participate by overcoming their physical limitations.”
Dr. Collins has been an employee of Edison State since 1999 and holds a
Doctor of Philosophy in Philosophy and Religion from the California
Institute of Integral Studies.
Carin Benning, of Troy, was selected for her willingness to go the
extra mile when helping students.
“Carin works diligently to help all students. She helps them in and out
of the Advising Resource Center with their schedules and is always
there to help anyone who needs it.”
“Carin is always flexible to meet the needs of the college. She also
works hard to create the best course for her students. She is
understanding and shows empathy to students and works hard to help them
with needs that arise.”
Benning has been employed at Edison State since 2011 and holds a Master
of Arts in Applied Behavioral Science from Wright State University.
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 Valuing People
Committee.
