Name: Lisa Yonker
Core Values: Integrity, Collaboration, DEI, Sustainability, Courage
Reason: I have been on more hiring committees than I can count lately. Working with Lisa is always a joy, even when we are all stressed! The full-time dental assistant faculty position is the first I have had the opportunity to chair. I made an error in the interview dates, and Lisa jumped right in to change the interviews to the dates the committee members needed. She never made me feel inadequate. Thank you, Lisa, for all that you do!
Name: Elizabeth Butler
Core Values: Integrity, Collaboration, DEI, Sustainability, Courage
Reason: Liz worked on the web pages for the new dental hygiene program. Her communication, speed, and efficiency are things to be proud of!! I notified her of the project goals. She created and sent the finished pages in a very short time. When the program received verbal confirmation to advertise and start taking applications, she had it ready to go in less than a day!! Liz, I could not have done this without your expert skills and talent!!
