Every other month, SoACE members have the opportunity to submit their anonymous Kudos to colleagues and organizations that have gone above and beyond in the office, as part of a professional association, or in other ways that make life better for others.
Annie Shealy, University of South Carolina

NaToshia Goines, University of South Carolina
Thank you for all that you did this semester to make the fairs such a success! I’m so glad you are a part of this team and am looking forward to a fantastic 2020!
Danielle Bolling, Vanderbilt University
I attended a session that Danielle did at the SoACE Annual Conference and after the session we swapped business cards. Upon following up with her via email after the conference she offered to do an informational interview with me about her work. She went above and beyond to give me information about her office and provide tips to me as a graduate student who is job searching. She told me that she would be glad to help me in any way she could and meant it. She is a true example of a leader in the career field based on this extremely meaningful interaction. Thank you Danielle.

Megan Simpson, Austin Peay State University
Megan recently moved all student employment to our Jobs4Govs platform which as increased student usership. In addition, she has partnered with our Graduate Studies Office to move all Assistantship applications to Jobs4Govs. This work required countless hours of designing processes and checks/balances to ensure that all parties had access and approval when needed. Kudos to Megan on creating an electronic process for our graduates who are seeking assistantships at Austin Peay State University.
