Read their nominations below:

"I would like to formally nominate all of the staff that went above and beyond on our last DNP orientation at the beginning of January. We had received some snow and ice the night before, and our colleagues pitched in and helped make this orientation a success. I would like to nominate Liz Hunter for her willingness to assist in giving our new DNP students an opportunity to tour the larger Duke community and Nora Harrington for her assistance in our walking tour of Duke campus." ~Jennifer Meyer Dare

"I would like to nominate Tammy Boseman, Charnetta Cooper and Tiffiany Parker for a Commitment to Excellence Recognition Award for consistently performing significant and exceptional roles in the completion of high impact projects and initiatives. At least twice each semester, the MSN Program Office has rather ambitious projects and timelines we work to meet. And we are ever grateful for the Duke University School of Nursing (Division/Faculty Support) Staff Assistants who help our Office with inspired levels of teamwork. Last week, we completed a mailing to 446 MSN Preceptors in less than two hours! With an assembly line of address labels, packing envelopes, letters and gifts to our nursing partners, we completed a task that would have taken our three person office days to complete. Each semester, we also ask for volunteers during the MSN On Campus Intensive and have yet to not see one or all of these staff assistants during the week. I’ve worked at DUSON as a staff assistant and know very well just how much they juggle. So Michael, Lindsay and I wanted to say a very loud THANK YOU for their commitment to excellence at DUSON. They are walking examples of our Core Values of Respect, Excellence, Integrity and Collaboration. We appreciate Tammy Boseman, Charnetta Cooper, Tiffiany Parker, for always showing up to help!" ~Najla McClain   

"Supremely organized and efficient! Masterful at managing the complexities of the dean’s calendar! Always willing and able to accommodate and coordinate the myriad of responsibilities, projects, requests and “Plan Bs” that come her way! Tremendously talented and the consummate colleague! Brings a perpetually positive attitude in all she does and ever welcoming and gracious to all who visit the dean’s suite! For these reasons and more, Jessica Almy Pagan undeniably deserves DUSON’s Commitment to Excellence Award." ~Crystal Arthur
