Congratulations to Emily Mann, academic advisor in the College of Arts and Sciences, and Tari Philips, accounting specialist in the Division of Biology, on being selected for university Staff Spotlight Awards! This monthly award recognizes university staff for their service to the K-State community.
Mann was selected for the August award. Her nominator said that she thinks strategically about each student’s case and does extensive research to help create the most efficient degree plan possible, mindful of time and money. When students are in a rut, Emily helps them think strategically about new pathways available to them, and she continually develops her advising skills to better serve her students.
Philips was selected for the September award. Her nominator said that she is an outstanding accounting specialist who has assumed substantial responsibilities beyond that position, including training new personnel, and is generous with her time and expertise to keep the Division of Biology business office running smoothly.
