Rebecca’s contributions to the community are extraordinary. One faculty member wrote in her nomination that Rebecca “single-handedly was able to set up the first and only federally/state certified laboratory in the State of Michigan for Cryptosporidium and Giardia testing here at MSU to help protect the safety of our drinking waters.”

Rebecca shows true dedication to her job. She is willing to help in whatever capacity she is needed whether that is her primary responsibility of running the lab or other activities such as working with students, helping with department events, or assisting public health departments.

Rebecca’s attitude is one of the qualities that makes her such a valuable employee. In her nomination, another faculty member wrote, “no matter what the situation (crisis of sampling during outbreaks, storms, etc.), Ms. Ives takes a calm, steady and organized approach to directing the activities of the laboratory while maintaining a positive, friendly attitude. She is well respected by students, professors and contractors outside MSU.”
