Edison State
Employees Recognized at Banquet
Twenty employees were recognized for a combined total of 180 years of
service in their careers at Edison State Community College’s 37th
annual employee recognition banquet on Friday, March 4.
Prior to dinner and the awards ceremony, a President's reception was
held and appetizers were served. Enrollment Managers, Stacey Bean and
Christina Raterman emceed the “red carpet” event and presented the
honorees with Alva awards to highlight each of their unique talents,
characteristics, and commitment to Edison State. Kara Myers,
Coordinator of Employee Engagement and Talent Acquisition, hosted the
event and Dr. Doreen Larson, President, presented honorees with gifts
and personally thanked each of them for their service to Edison State.
The following employees were recognized for reaching significant
milestones in their careers at Edison: Twenty-Five Years: Kimberly
Kiehl; Twenty Years: Helen Wilcox; Fifteen Years: Eileen Thompson,
Leslie Spivey, Steve Sykes; Ten Years: Paul Heintz, Stacey Bean, Steve
Marlowe; Five Years: Amanda Bylczynski, Amy Borgert, Amy Crow, Carolyn
Jackson, Dave Barth, Doug Riehle, Greg Clem, Heather Lanham, Sarah
Hein, Scott Schwilk, Terry Calvert, Andravas De Vas Goonewardene.
“The banquet was a perfect blend of reflection on our loss of Chris
Sargent and our appreciation of our colleagues,” said Edison State
President, Dr. Doreen Larson. “Stacey and Christina embodied the joy
and good humor that makes Edison State a very special place to work.”
During the banquet, it was announced that Chris Sargent’s portrait
would be added to Edison State’s Wall of Memories. The Wall of
Memories, established in 1998 by members of the Academic Forum, is
dedicated to former Edison State employees who significantly impacted
the lives of students, faculty, and staff. They will forever be
recognized as part of the College community.
Chris Sargent, who passed away unexpectedly last year, was selected
because of her enduring commitment to Edison State. One nominator said
it best, “There wasn’t a thing that Chris wouldn’t do for students,
faculty, or staff. Her kind smile and quick wit made it easy to be
friends with her. She brought all of us in and made us part of her
family and made her family part of Edison State. If you want to talk
about someone that is Edison State you wouldn’t have to look any
further than Chris.” Sargent had recently reached her 25-year milestone
at Edison State.
