Employees of the Month

Dianna Brackbill, specialist in International Student Services, is the March Staff Employee of the Month. She has been with Columbus State since 2013. She was nominated by Stephanie Albrecht, executive director of Student Central. In her nomination form, Albrecht pointed out that Brackbill works with many students who are new to the United States and knows that every dollar matters for them. Albrecht said, “she was able to help several students to correct and update information making them eligible for funding from Reclaim Your Future to help with tuition. Dianna’s work meant that several students could take additional credit hours.” Brackbill’s supervisor, JoYin Tang, wrote, “Her role requires her to handle sensitive information and immigration documentation, and she demonstrates professionalism and integrity at all times.” 

The Part-time Staff Employee of the month is Morgan Becker. She has been with the College since 2019 and serves as the practicum coordinator of the Early Childhood program. She was nominated by Professor Christine Creagh, who pointed out in her nomination letter that placing students at early learning centers was “no easy task” during the pandemic. “Morgan went above and beyond to locate new sites and develop creative opportunities for students to stay on track toward graduating,” said Creagh. Stacey Raymond, Becker’s supervisor and Human Services chairperson, said, “Morgan was able to think outside the box and work closely with faculty to come up with solutions that enabled our students to complete the hours necessary for graduation.”
