Mary McGill, the Third Quarter 2012 Employee of the Quarter, knows how to work with faculty, often completing thankless tasks and actively taking steps to make the departments of Geography and Environmental Studies and Political Science operate more smoothly.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not all, according to Carole Huber, senior instructor, Geography and Environmental Studies, Tom Huber, professor, Geography and Environmental Studies, and Steve Jennings, associate professor, Department of Geography and Environmental Studies. The Hubers and Jennings were McGill\u2019s award nominators.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been at UCCS for decades and have worked with many different administrative assistants,\u201d the trio wrote in a nomination letter. \u201cNone has come close to providing the support, commitment and personal strengths Mary brings to the position. Her tireless dedication makes our jobs so much easier.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since 2007, McGill has worked for both the Department of Political Science and the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies. McGill\u2019s ability to balance the needs of faculty in both departments drew\u00a0 praise as did her commitment to many of the principles geography and environmental studies teaches.<\/p>\n

McGill works closely with a student environmental group, helping them with purchases and donating time to help with the Office of Sustainability\u2019s Bike Jam Event. As part of that commitment, she rides her bike to campus almost every day.<\/p>\n

\u201cMary is a very caring individual who quietly, yet tirelessly, works to move our campus and our world toward a more sustainable future,\u201d her nomination letter stated.<\/p>\n

For her efforts, McGill will receive a $100 stipend, a certificate, one day administrative leave and three months free, reserved campus parking. The campus parking permit brought a chuckle from McGill and most of the GES faculty who attended her award presentation. Most of the department\u2019s members bike to campus.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the best parts of working for the people in this department is \u2026 getting to work for the people in this department,\u201d McGill said. \u201cBoth GES and the Political Science Departments have been beyond wonderful to work with. Every faculty member is committed, passionate, super at teaching, cooperative as a group, compassionate as human beings and of the highest integrity. They have made it easy for me to be their program assistant.\u201d<\/p>\n

McGill built on her relationships with the two departments to prepare for her next challenge. On Sept. 1, she began a new position as human resources specialist in the Office of the Dean, College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
