Jessica Russell, Faculty Development, was recognized for helpfulness. “Jessica is so kind and has worked incredibly hard to integrate the Interfolio system, work with faculty to understand it, and with staff to understand our role with it as well. It's a much-needed system, and it's great to have someone actively engaged with making sure it succeeds! It's also nice that she's become our egg supplier :)”
Marketing and Communications Team was recognized for teamwork. “A huge Kudos to the NEOMED Marketing and Communications Team for bringing together the many moving parts that made the Cleveland Browns and NEOMED Jr. Doctor for a Day event such a tremendous success! This event required an incredible amount of coordination, creativity, teamwork and attention to detail. From the many hands-on activities that engaged the first-grade students to the countless behind-the-scenes tasks that made everything run smoothly, the team worked together to create a memorable and meaningful experience for everyone involved. One of the most rewarding aspects was seeing this multigenerational event bring together NEOMED medical students and first-grade students. It was a wonderful opportunity to inspire young minds, encourage curiosity about health care, and showcase the impact of NEOMED's community partnerships. Thank you to the entire team for your dedication, collaboration and hard work in making this event such a success. It truly demonstrated the power of teamwork and what can be accomplished when everyone comes together toward a common goal!”
