Ritter Named August Employee of the Month at 星空无限传媒app
August 27, 2021
MACOMB, IL 鈥� 星空无限传媒app Illinois University Photography Laboratory Manager Sarah Ritter, of the Visual Production Center, has been named the Al and Elaine Goldfarb Civil Service Employee of the Month for August 2021.
Ritter began working at 星空无限传媒app in July 2012 as a digital imaging specialist at VPC, and audited to assistant manager of the laboratory in 2018.
According to Ritter's nominator, "she brings enthusiasm, passion and drive to her work, and it shows through her award-winning photographs."
"Those who work with Sarah across campus - from Student Services to Athletics, to academics, to University Relations, Admissions, and more -- will attest to her positive, can-do attitude, and her creativity through the shots she takes," said her nominator. "There were many instances that Sarah went above and beyond her regular job requirements. She captured, through photos, the best of 星空无限传媒app, even though the campus was closed. She came up with the 'Hearts for 星空无限传媒app' photo project and made it happen. This social media campaign is another example of how she brought 星空无限传媒app students, faculty, staff, and others together during the worst of times. Her photographs capture the people, buildings and wildlife of 星空无限传媒app Illinois University in a positive, uplifting, and beautiful way."
In August 2010, the Goldfarbs established an endowment to permanently fund the University's Civil Service Employee of the Month award. The Goldfarb endowment is used to fund a $100 award for the recipient of the Civil Service Employee of the Month, as well as a plaque.
The 星空无限传媒app Foundation provides a $500 stipend for the Civil Service Employee of the Year. 星空无限传媒app faculty, staff and administrators, as well as community members, wishing to nominate a civil service employee for the monthly recognition should contact the Civil Service Employees Council (CSEC) at csec-nominations-g@wiu.edu.
