Robin Manning, Stores Supervisor for the School of Dental Medicine, is the recipient of the February Employee Recognition Award. Ms. Manning was nominated for the award by Derek Forrester, Director, School of Dental Medicine.
Robin is a natural leader and always brings out the best in those around her. Our Students, Residents, Faculty, and Staff all know Robin on a first name basis. Robin is always willing to contribute to the greater good of the team and the clinics would not run as well if she did not perform her role as well as she does. Robin is responsible to ensure that all necessary supplies and instruments required to treat our patients are available in all of our clinics. Her extensive dental assisting and supervision background of the clinic dispensing area has given her the unique skills to excel as a Stores Supervisor. She began her career with the School of Dental Medicine as a Dental Assistant and has been promoted several times since and has been very successful in each of the new positions. Robin is dedicated, motivated and willing to learn new methods to ensure that the dental clinics continue to treat patients and educate dental students. Robin is innovative, resourceful, and independent, she is self-motivated and is continually thinking about ways to improve clinical operations. Robin is among the most conscientious and productive employees at the School of Dental Medicine and is always very pleasant (even when the going gets tough). Robin handles her duties and responsibilities with little or no supervision and is always available to help wherever and whenever her help is needed. It is a genuine joy to have Robin at the School of Dental Medicine.
