Angela Holkesvig is April UShine Award recipient

UND Staff Senate is pleased to announce that the April 2019 UShine Award recipient is Angela Holkesvig, Accounting Specialist for UND Housing and UND Staff Senate Recognition Chair. She was nominated by Garrett Grasser and the nomination stated:

Angie volunteered to be the chair for Staff Recognition Committee for 2018-19. Since she took this position there have been nothing but improvements to this committee. The easy thing would have been to go and do the same old things from prior years but instead she decided to rewrite the position. The time Angie has put into the small details have made the annual Staff Employee Recognition Week (SERW) extraordinary. She has gone out of her way to find extra donations, paid for decorations out of pocket, created step by step guidelines for future chairs, and ensures everything comes together to make it the perfect way to show appreciation to UND staff. Not only has she put extra time into our appreciation lunches, she also makes the UShine awards something to see. Once picked, Angie researches the winner to put that extra little touch. Out of her own pocket again, Angie buys little gifts from pop, snacks, frosting, and even more personalized things like toy airplanes and dumbbells. These little details really help show the UShine winner how much time and thought she puts into this award and helps show how appreciated they are! Angie really goes out of her way to make someone feel appreciated!

We Agree Angie! UShine!

The UShine Award is presented monthly to a UND staff member who goes out of his or her way to make UND a better place. All UShine Award winners receive a certificate, a one-time $50 bonus added to their next paycheck, and a $15 ND Museum of Art Cafe Gift Certificate!
