Student Services Office
Employee of the Month
“I am very pleased to nominate an outstanding NIC staff member, Dianne Holbart. Dianne serves as the Assistant to the Dean - Career and Technical Education. Most recently, Dianne has taken on the additional task of assisting with the Workforce Training Center during a transition period. This has been a very stressful time for the Workforce Training Center Staff and we have been blessed with the amount of support and assistance Dianne has provided. She has added our team to her already full plate to ensure our students and staff are being served in the best way possible. Dianne has an immense workload which she generously suspends to assist anyone of us needing her help. She comes out once a week to spend time with the Workforce Training Center Staff, giving us her full support, assistance, and guidance! In addition to all of her extremely AMAZING qualities, I have found she is THE MASTER of ORGANIZATION and a SUPREME SCHEDULER EXTRAORDINAIRE keeping us all on track with a smile on her face, a cheerful voice, and a flower in her hair! Dianne exemplifies a Sterling Silver Employee. She is a ROCK STAR and deserves a COW BELL RING every day!!”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Dianne Holbart both when she was with the Dual Credit Office and more recently when she became the Assistant to the CTE Dean. Dianne is one of the most upbeat, positive people I have ever met. She is an absolute joy to know and work with. She excels at keeping our office tidy and organized. She always has an eye towards improving how tasks are completed, and she has done a yeoman's job of mentoring division administrative assistants. It is for these reasons that I would like to nominate Dianne for the Sterling Silver Award.”

She has a can-do attitude and is willing to take on challenging projects without hesitation. Dianne's knowledge of NIC and its people and processes have been highly beneficial to me and to our team. She knows where to go and/or who to call to get things done, and is respected for her work. Dianne is a worker! She likes to be kept busy and doesn't get overwhelmed by changing priorities and/or last-minute requests. The volume of work she accomplishes in a day is awesome! Dianne took on her new role with Enrollment Services without hesitation. It is a pleasure to work closely with her and she is making valuable contributions to our work every day.”
