Emily VanWormer
Health Resource Manager

Emily has done an amazing job in her new role as Health Resource Manager all while maintaining coordination of the CCS Wellness + Counseling Center, acting as the super glue that keeps it all together. Emily has jumped into this role during a time of uncertainty and has demonstrated why we value her so much as a colleague. From contact tracing and fielding phone calls to assisting in the organizing of COVID testing and answering questions from concerned parents, students and staff, Emily has earned this kind of recognition without a doubt, as her passion for education, empowerment and safety is an obvious priority. She is an incredibly valuable employee and human.

Audio Visual Event Specialist

Even though most of our classes are hybrid, many of them have just a handful of students who are remote only, which presented a challenge of how to best include these students. John was there to make sure faculty were able to hold an in-person class, zoom-in and connect a remote student into the classroom. He willingly agreed to come to two “how to” sessions for CCS faculty who have remote-only students and patiently got faculty up and running with this new technology. He also worked tirelessly to help get the Taubman AVC up and running which is a valuable resource for our students. He keeps the tech end of things humming for our classrooms and does so with a great attitude!
