WSU Applebaum honors behind-the-scenes Warriors during Employee Recognition Week
During Wayne State's second annual Employee Recognition Week, Dean Brian Cummings expressed gratitude for all team members at the Eugene Applebaum College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, saying, "Each of you has a hand in training the next generation of professionals in careers that are vital to the health and well-being of our community. Thank you for your role in making this possible."
He also invited WSU Applebaum employees to give shout-outs to each other on the WSU Applebaum Kudoboard.
In the spirit of each day's theme, Cummings called attention to the following people in morning email messages:
Warrior Heroes
Monday's theme spotlighted those who provide outstanding service with a can-do attitude - secretaries, administrative professionals, program specialists and student assistants across WSU Applebaum.
Warrior Excellence
On Tuesday, we celebrated everyone who helps WSU Applebaum make a positive first impression.
Warrior Trailblazers
Wednesday's theme focused on everyone in the college who supports our laboratories and research initiatives.
Warriors Who Care
Thursday shined a light on the often hidden members of our team who work with students outside the classroom setting.
Warrior Leadership
On Friday we cheered for those who motivate others, inspiring them to accomplish their goals and pursue personal and professional growth.
"Every member of our staff and faculty contributes something important to the success of our college. Thank you for all that you do," said Cummings, who wasn't the only person offering high fives this week. Team members across the college publicly thanked one another for their upbeat attitudes by posting messages on the WSU Applebaum Kudoboard.
"I appreciate those of you who have taken the time to recognize your colleagues, in person or virtually," Cummings added. "We have a great team, and I am proud to work alongside all of you. I hope you will continue to express your appreciation for your colleagues as often as you can. Our culture of gratitude is part of what makes WSU Applebaum feel like a family."
