Maggiora 'always willing to go above and beyond'

Do you work with an outstanding colleague at Western Washington University? The Western Way program provides the opportunity for faculty and staff to recognize the great efforts of others on campus.

Any time throughout the year, folks in the WWU community can visit the Western Way website to recognize a Western employee who demonstrates excellence in serving students, visitors or colleagues, based on the characteristics that make them uniquely Western: inviting, engaging, distinctive, collaborative and adventurous.

Western Way honorees are recognized online on the Western Way Wall of Acknowledgment, in Western Today and in a slideshow at the Employee Recognition Ceremony in April.

Recently recognized was Alisyn Maggiora, a program manager in Extended Education, who was praised by Rebecca Beardsall, Extended Ed's marketing manager:

"Alisyn is most certainly a team player and is always willing to step in to help for the greater good. An example of this was just the other day we both met up on the bus looking exhausted and stressed about what was ahead of us. We shared our struggles and by the end of the conversation, she offered to help with my work load knowing full well that her plate was already extremely full. She is committed to Western and its mission, and is always willing to go above and beyond."
