May 1, 2020

Sherie JensenSherie Jensen, Senior Staff Assitant Lead for the Caine College of the Arts, was chosen as the Employee of the Month for May 2020. She was nominated by Braun Khan, an assistant professor of Double Bass and Jazz Studies at USU.

"Along with her professionalism and attentiveness to her work, Jensen regularly displays a willingness to go above and beyond what is required of her to serve the needs of the department and its faculty," Khan said. "As one faculty member recounted, 'During periods of significant illness, Sherie would personally deliver mail to me in order that my family would not have to leave home while caring for me. She often inquired about members of my family by name, especially if they were ill or in distress. Kindness and concern are her watchwords.'

"It is clear to anyone who gets to know the inner workings of the Music Department that Jensen is beloved not only for all the ways that she contributes to the department professionally but also for the ways in which she creates a sense of friendly community, which is so crucial to a thriving workplace. She has an almost magical ability to make difficult work appear effortless and does it all while dishing out a healthy does of sarcasm, humor, and warmth that lift the spirits of all who work with her and make the inevitable challenges of the workplace seem small in light of the supportive environment that she creates."

Congratulations Sherie on a recognition well-deserved!
