Sterling Silver Award
Jamie Marble
Administrative Assistant
Conferencing and Campus Events
Employee of the Month
“Jamie has worked endlessly since she was hired in Event Services. She has a list of responsibilities which she fulfills on a daily basis. She also covers all of the loose ends for fellow employees who are ill or on leave for other reasons. She bridges communication gaps, which are many, and does so many things that there is no way to currently describe her job responsibilities. She also catches the brunt of most of the negativity that often flows in the direction of her department as she apologizes for the failures of others. I think she is one of the most underappreciated employees on campus. Jamie works tirelessly to do the job of 4 people. She receives incoming communications, schedules events, plans setup of events, and prepares invoices both for events and catering, and reaches out to clients who have not remembered to schedule their event in a timely fashion. As event services has become a “catch-all”; department, Jamie is also frequently asked to troubleshoot IT equipment, train clients on the use of power point, and run across campus to fulfill a last second request. Jamie could only be more efficient if she clones herself.”
Jay Carkhuff, Stage Manager - Schuler Performing Arts Center
“Jamie always goes the extra mile for clients - whether it is a small student group or a massive conference. Her attention to detail is laudable, her personality absolutely wonderful, and her ability to juggle a million things is amazing. NIC is lucky to have her as an employee, and we are lucky to work closely with her on a daily basis. What a great person and co-worker. She deserves an award on a daily basis, but if we can get her an employee of the month designation, that would be great.”
Dodi Stilkey, Student Union Operations Coordinator - Student Union Operations
“Jamie has been very busy this past year. When they have been shorthanded in the conferencing and events department...she has stepped up to help fill the void. She seems to be able to navigate 25 live, talk with folks interested in renting space here on campus and juggle room setups like a champ!! She appears to do all of those tasks and more with a smile on her face. As someone who isn't in their department and only sees her working from a distance, I believe Jamie is more than deserving in being awarded the Sterling Silver Award.”
Nancy Edwards, Senior Administrative Assistant - Student Services Office
“Jamie has time and time again gone above and beyond to provide outstanding customer service and support to every single event that happens on campus. From the simplest staff meeting to the biggest all campus events she gives 110% to make sure it is all perfect.”
Tyler Hughes, Stage Technician - Schuler Performing Arts Center
“Jamie is such a pleasure to work with. Even being shorthanded she tirelessly juggles everyone’s requests and still finds time to help us fix our events calendar. Even on her busiest days she finds a way to respond quickly and with a smile. I am delighted to work her and occasionally “nerd out” with her. She is easily one of the coolest and hardest working people I know. Thank you Jamie! You are more than deserving of the Sterling Silver Award.”
Melissa Mewhinney, Web Application Developer - Communications and Marketing
“Jamie so deserves Sterling Silver. She is one of the hardest working people ever. She comes in early, stays late, works weekends, and is always there for clients when she's needed, and all with a smile on her face. Plus, she's just a great person to be around.”
