Congratulations to this year\u2019s winner of the Ruth Jameyson \u201cAbove and Beyond\u201d Award, Sarah Ellis! This award honors a support staff employee who goes \u201cabove and beyond\u201d in their job at MSU while pursuing a graduate degree concurrent with their employment. Sarah is the Admissions and Academic Services Manager for the Eli Broad College of Business MBA Program. She has been with MSU for 6 years and is currently pursuing a Master of Science in Customer Experience Management from Michigan State University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sarah\u2019s leaders and colleagues have this to say about her:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSarah is a talented, dedicated, and thoughtful team member, who consistently goes above and beyond to help students, colleagues, faculty, and staff both in her unit and across campus. She is known as a reliable, highly competent professional who is patient, kind, organized, and reliable. Sarah can always be counted on to do her job with effective excellence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere is no better example of Sarah\u2019s \u2018above and beyond\u2019 approach than the work she did to support our students, staff, and faculty during COVID. She coordinated multiple, diverse tasks while we were constantly shifting and adjusting our work as circumstances warranted. Sarah was a key ingredient to our ability to be successful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSarah is ultimately responsible for elevating all our internal processes, and our outward-facing communications, events, and corporate relationships\u2014beyond the highest of MSU\u2019s standards. Her time in the EMBA program has resulted in consistent climbs in our rankings and uncountable word-of-mouth referrals. I cannot imagine a more deserving leader at MSU than Sarah Ellis for this award, and I would love to see the recognition that all her long hours have contributed towards.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
