Help SLU 'Spotlight' Staff Stories

01/23/2020

Does your office mate hide a secret talent, hobby or memorable SLU story? Do you know a great story behind the name on a staff member’s badge?

Newslink is seeking nominations for staff members to be featured in its occasional “Staff Spotlight” series. The series tells the unique stories of staff members across the University.

Past Staff Spotlights have featured a Juilliard-trained percussionist and artist; an “agility dog addict”; a international admissions counselor for her passion for volunteering and her “Raging Red” hair; and staff members devoted to serving others, in St. Louis and abroad, among others.

• Nominees must agree to be submitted and/or must be willing to be contacted for a possible interview and photo.
