“Mrs. Sumner is in charge of everything monetary in our department. She is very kind and patient. Being a member of the SIUE Union, she is always offering her assistance and checking in on her peers," said Vivian Rodgers, office support associate at Kimmel. "Making SIUE the best environment to work in seems to be one of her top priorities. I have noticed that whenever there is a need for extra help, Mrs. Sumner is never too busy to lend a hand or an ear. If she doesn’t know something, she will do her best to hunt down the answer for you. "
“I have had the wonderful opportunity to know Vickie over the past three years, as I have served as her supervisor. I have been amazed by Vickie’s financial skills, as well as her organizational and student-focused mindset, as she works daily with our staff and students," said Kelly Jo Karnes, Kimmel Student Involvement Center director. "Vickie works as the account technician for the Kimmel Student Involvement Center, as well as manages the finances and budget process for Student Government and more than 270 student organizations at SIUE. Vickie truly has the best interest at heart for the students that she works with. She is a great voice of reason as we have had to navigate the loss of state monies and ever decreasing staff and budgets.”
“I am proud and very pleased to be selected as SIUE June 2016 Employee of the Month," Sumner said. "The Kimmel Student Involvement Center staff is like a second family, and I truly enjoy working with this incredible group of people. I have come to know so many talented and fantastic people in my time here, it is small wonder that SIUE is an excellent place to work and learn. Plus, I have the good fortune to get to know and work with students from all over this wonderful campus. They may be the students, but the education I receive from them is priceless! Thank you for this honor.”
