Last Month's Employee of the Month

Please join us in congratulating Dimi Jolliff as the April 2013 Employee of the Month.

Dimi is a student employee at the Reception Desk at the Student Fitness Center, and has been since August of 2009. She is a Nursing major and will be graduating and leaving us this May! Her desire is to work as a Pediatric Nurse and her dream goal is to work at St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital in Memphis, TN. We have no doubt that she will fulfill this dream someday soon.

Dimi has a very unique friendly personality and does not know a stranger. She has a great rapport with all the Fitness Center patrons, as well as her fellow co-workers. Dimi always has a smile on her face with a happy greeting to you. Dimi is one of our hardest-working Front Desk employees and we will definitely miss her bubbly personality!

Dimi is also very active outside of Campus Recreation. She is an officer of the Student Nurses Association and has been very instrumental in the past three years with raising money for St. Jude’s Hospital through the “Up Til Dawn” project. In her free time, Dimi likes to spend time with her family, boyfriend, and friends, and spending summer time at the lake in the sun!
