Please explain the outstanding contributions of the nominee during the month of nomination

During the month of march, the graduate assistant for the Village at Centennial Square here at San Francisco State University has gone up and beyond in efforts to help support his staff. This means that Andy helps the resident assistants plan their programs and supports the RAs as much as possible. Throughout the year the Village has seen various different Area Coordinators but Andy has been the constant the staff needed so much. With Andy’s help, the staff has become the close knit group that it is now. Within the last month Andy has become more and closer with the staff and he has expressed to the staff that he truly enjoys working along with every one of the staff. Last week during our staff meeting, it was Andy’s idea to have a Tea Party and have a break from business and have a craft day in which we all decorated a frame that will be used for a staff picture.

Since Andy is a graduating from his program this year he has been working hard on his thesis paper. During a staff meeting he asked for our help because he did not have enough people to interview for his paper, which is about the availability and options for vegetarian or vegan youths in K-12 grade, and asked if we knew anyone who had experience being in that category. At this time I expressed to Andy that I could help since I became vegan during my junior year of high school. Through this experience I had the pleasure of spending more time with Andy and discovered that he is very easy to open up to.

I would like to nominate Andy because he is very approachable and is always willing to help his staff formulate the best programs for the community. I have found that Andy is such a great person to talk to about diversity topics because he does not judge just helps educates. He is just such a great person to have on a staff because he adds so much positive energy.
