Good Morning... I wanted to send a big Thank You for taking the time out of your busy schedules to once again educate apprx. 150 of our Campus Recreation Student Staff on True Colors®. Your passion for developing students is inspirational and motivating. We couldn’t have had another successful training without your help.

Have a great day!

To: Natisha Cottrell, Student Financial Aid and Enrollment Services

From: Michele Rench, Student Financial Aid and Enrollment Services

Thank you Natisha for manning our counter for two hours on the 23rd so that the DT team could have a holiday team luncheon.  I appreciate your willingness to get out of your comfort zone of the Call Center to work a counter, especially when most of our customers wanted updated transcripts.  Thanks for rising to the challenge!


To: Kimberly Barrera, Student Financial Aid and Enrollment Services

From: Michele Rench, Student Financial Aid and Enrollment Services

Thank you for your efficiency in 2010 in imaging and indexing all financial aid and scholarship paperwork that came into our downtown office.  Knowing that you are taking care of that important responsibility allows your co-workers to focus on customer service and processing paperwork.  Thank you for being a team player!


To: Kaeli Brown, Student Financial Aid and Enrollment Services

From: Christopher Goldsberry and Lara Crouch, Student Financial Aid and Enrollment Services

Financial Aid Outreach would like to thank Kaeli Brown for a stellar job presenting the National Training for Counselors and Mentors at Café College on December 3rd.  This training was a six-hour course for the San Antonio Education Partnership, which administrates Café College under the guidance of Mayor Julian Castro’s Office, as well as for counselors from area high schools on all topics of financial aid.  Kaeli was given a very minimal amount of time to prepare for the training, and she received immense praise and thanks from Café College and the area counselors for her extensive knowledge of financial aid, her professional attitude, and her pleasant demeanor.  Thanks so much, Kaeli, for the amazing work you’ve done!

Thank you!

To:   Kim Canady - Assistant Director, Student Financial Aid
From:  Erika Cox- Assistant Director, Enrollment Services Center

Kim,

I would like to pass Thank You Rowdy on to you. Throughout my time in Enrollment Services, you have been a great mentor and a remarkable advocate for students. As our office’s Ombudsperson you often hear from students during challenging financial times and you understand well how to blend your True Colors “Blue” with all the other colors so that you are fair to a wide spectrum of students while remaining compassionate. The students of UTSA are lucky to have an advocate in Financial Aid & Enrollment Services like you. Our staff are equally lucky to have someone with your experience and leadership skills. You really make a difference in our students and parents.  For that, I am truly thankful.
 

Thank you,
Erika
