She also has voluntarily begun coordinating our communication efforts. In addition to all this, she also supervises our peer students and serves as a liaison to our education department and our liberal arts college. She’s amazing!

R-O-C-K You Rock, You Rock!

for Kristen Aquilino – Elon University
Kristen is incredible hard-working and never complains even as she is thrown in 10 different directions. She is an asset to multiple offices at Elon. I don’t know what either office would do if we didn’t have her. Keep up the good work, Kristen! People notice 🙂

Nancy handles all of our on-campus employment and does a terrific job in helping students and the offices on campus that need them. I really value her work ethic and upbeat personality. The students love working with her and find her guidance very helpful.

Kristin is an unsung hero in the SPDC at Elon. She handles all of the behind-the-scenes work and makes it looks easy although she is juggling 50 balls all at once. I admire how her mind works and her cool patience. She does great work!
for Julie Brewer – UT Austin
Julie has been with CCS for close to six months and has been a wonderful addition to our team. Julie has done a superior job of allocating her time to student career advising, working one-on-one with students providing career advisement, and developing her skills and knowledge as a career advisor in Moody College. She has participated in professional development seminars and regularly seeks out programs and resources that will help her become a better career advisor. Fall 2016 was a semester of tremendous transition in our office, and Julie’s willingness to pitch in and get involved in providing all types of career services was invaluable. She is beloved by students and co-workers alike.
