Name: Tanya Salas-Gonzalez
Core Values: Integrity; Collaboration; Diversity, Equity and Inclusion; Sustainability; Courage
Reason: We had the Puentes orientation, and since it was new, we didn’t know what to expect. We had 55 students, and all of them had questions related to financial aid. Tanya helped all of them. Her professionalism and devotion to our students is impressive. Thanks to her, many students completed their financial aid forms. She didn’t leave until every student had their questions answered. She is an example of dedication and professionalism. The students made a connection with her, and they left knowing that if there were any questions, she would be there to help them. Thank you, Tanya, for all your hard work and dedication!
