We are pleased to announce that Holly Covert is the winner of the drawing for the Employee Appreciation Program grand prize. Holly is a Facilities Attendant who has worked at the college since 1990. She was consistently recognized for being a team player, being helpful to others, and having a positive attitude. Great job, Holly! The grand prize is a $50.00 gift certificate to the Ithaca College Bookstore.
Over 1300 coupons have been redeemed by employees representing 104 departments on campus. Our employees were recognized for creative ideas, positive attitudes, using humor at work, being helpful to others, showing initiative, displaying superior customer service and continuing to pursue excellence in their chosen professions.
We have heard many heartwarming stories during this past month and a half. Three examples of how we all contribute to a positive work environment here at Ithaca College: (1) One employee redeemed her coupons for ID Express cards so she could give them to co-workers on days when they might need a boost. (2) Another employee used her Mac’s gift certificate to buy crackers & cheese to share with her colleagues in the office. (3) Several employees asked if they could donate their coupons to one of the holiday drives. Those coupons were given to the Caring & Sharing committee. It is easy to see that here at IC we are surrounded by generous and compassionate people.
Many people contributed to the success of this program. We’d like to thank the print shop for making the cards, the ID office and the Bursar’s office for creating the ID Express gift cards and Dining Services for preparing the meal cards. In addition, we’d like to send a special thank you to the Bookstore staff for helping us coordinate all the wonderful rewards!
Thank you once again for your participation and enthusiasm. Even though the official employee appreciation program is only one month out of the year, we hope everyone will continue to appreciate their colleagues all year long.
