Ode to May Employee of the Month

Monday, May 2nd, 2011

Ode to May Employee of the Month . . . or HR Calls for EOM nominations by May 20

Another year has slipped away
And here it is, the month of May
Most of the students are long gone,
While staff are left to carry on.
Who’s a colleague who has impressed you –
Whose work deserves a word or two?
Please nominate an Employee for May,
Send me a note – what do you say?
Deadline is the 20th, right at noon,
That’s plenty of time, not too soon.

– Peggy Kilburg
