CBCS Student Employee of the Year - Winners

CBCS is pleased to announce the two winners of the Student Employee of the Year Award are Kristin Sanders (Graduate Assistant, CSD) and Karine Rodrigues (Student Assistant, Criminology).


 

Kristin was nominated by her supervisor Kyna Betancourt for her role in managing all the students for the department's online post-bac program. Kristin has been working in the department since fall 2015. She is the face of the program and the sole person responding to new leads and helping the students. All of Kristin's hard work has made the program a huge success.

Karine was nominated by her supervisor Amanda Raush with supporting nominations from Drs. Elizabeth Cass and Joni Bernbaum. She has been working in the Department of Criminology since fall 2014 and has become an integral part of the team. She anticipates department needs and is relied upon by the entire department to produce professional, accurate work. Karine is solely responsible for creating many of the marketing flyers, brochures, and website graphics - including the internship flyer and infographic and educational platforms on career readiness in Canvas. The department could not ask for a better student to represent their program, the College, and USF.
