“I have watched Lisa work with and deal with students, co-workers and people who come in with various questions," said Wing. "Lisa always greets them professionally, enthusiastically and with a smile. She does her best to help everyone. If she does not know the answer, then she usually knows who does or will do what she can to find out who can help them. Lisa takes the time to thoroughly explain what needs to be done and makes sure that they understand everything before they leave.”
