Ashley Vega serves as the Senior Manager for Student Center Meetings and Events Office. She supervises 25 student employees and supports professional staff with scheduling over 20,000 bookings annually. Last spring, while a full-time staff member was out on medical leave, she assumed the role of a professional staff Event Coordinator significantly increasing her responsibilities and hours. Her work ethic has set a fine example for others to emulate, and has engendered loyalty from staff. She makes herself available to colleagues and student staff, always alert and eager to answer questions and provide guidance, understanding that work is not always done once the shift has ended. Whether handling a tense or difficult situation or providing guidance in a mentoring role, she does so with confidence and aplomb. She is often complimented on her professionalism when people learn for the first time that she “is only a student.”
