Employee of the Month
March 8, 2013
 |
Grete Graf, office Support Specialist in the Office of the Chancellor, is the recipient of the March Employee Recognition Award. Ms. Graf was nominated for the award by Kim Durr, Executive Assistant to the Chancellor.
Grete has worked at SIUE and in the Chancellor’s Office since July 2009 and, since day one, has contributed greatly to the efficiency, productivity, and all around positive atmosphere of the office. She is the consummate professional with a high degree of integrity as well as grace under pressure. Grete is quick to accept new challenges and handles them with apparent ease; her problem-solving skills are epic!
In addition to her exceptional individual office abilities, Grete does an outstanding job of supporting her office team. She has earned the respect of all her co-workers and is very quick to offer assistance and to act as a resource for others. She maintains a calm, cool and collected demeanor even when faced with multiple deadlines and requests. In addition, as the office’s student worker supervisor, Grete serves as a mentor by exemplifying effectiveness, accuracy and collegiality, giving students an excellent example upon which to model their own professional abilities.
Grete serves in a supporting role to several key committees on campus and is very well-respected by those committee memberships. Her contributions include not only administrative support, but also historical knowledge as she is very skilled at retrieving information that is important to planning of current and future University initiatives.
While she is consistently outwardly focused when it comes to supporting the Chancellor’s Office team, part of that support depends on her pursuit of self-improvement as related to her individual skills and knowledge. Grete has taken the initiative to promote her professional skills through both courses directly relating to her office tasks as well as those that are relevant to her academic studies. In all areas, Grete enhances the image of the SIUE Chancellor’s Office and we are exceptionally lucky to have her as a part of the SIUE family.
