The Dionne Henderson Staff Excellence Award Winners
“Creating an environment of inclusion and empathy for all is something Dionne did naturally. She was kind to everyone. Her contagious smile, her positive attitude and her innate ability to find something good in everything and everyone made her a very unique individual. Dionne was the 'face' of our department working with both internal and external customers, building collaborations and mutually beneficial partnerships across campus. She was a resource to all who crossed her path. Dionne’s demeanor made her approachable, always taking time to listen and help someone as needed. Dionne was a strong resource to others sharing knowledge and information appropriately. In dealing with all situations she was diplomatic, courteous and welcoming. She demonstrated sound and ethical judgment when acting on behalf of the college and exercised appropriate confidentiality and commitment to her work.” - Carol Merkur
