Daniel Morgan, Mississippi State University
(This Kudos should be read to the tune of the Bud Light Real Men of Genius commercials.) Here’s to you, Mr. Calm, Cool, and Collected. When faced with the opportunity to host our first ever joint career fair with another institution, you say, “Bring it on.” Even though the name badges wouldn’t print, you didn’t blow your top. What’s that? The sawhorse didn’t get delivered? No problem; it’s all good. So pop open an ice cold bottle of Dasani and turn on your favorite Jam of the Day, Mr. Cool Under Fire. You’ve earned it!
Niemah Butler, Nova Southeastern University
Kudos to Niemah Butler and the entire Employer Relations team for putting on another successful NSU Career & Internship Expo!

Her generosity in her time and effort and leadership with these organizations bring great value to both and are very much appreciated by so many!
