Felecia Cherry-Hansel wins Award

Felecia Cherry-Hansel, our invaluable receptionist, was recognized again this year at the Division of Student Affairs’ Awards Ceremony. Felecia was honored with the “Mover and Shaker Award” which is given to a DSA staff person who demonstrates a “can do” attitude, and consistently initiates and encourages positive change to services and programs. We are lucky to have Felecia on our staff and proud that others in the Division recognize her invaluable contribution to the services that The University Counseling Center provides.
