Amy uses her expertise to mentor student volunteers and is a valuable resource to her colleagues.
Quality Customer Service Award Recipient
Career Services
Division of Student and International Affairs
Quality Customer Service is the key to success for many offices on campus, a mindset and expectation that stems from the top and permeates throughout the culture of the office. Career Services expresses this mindset throughout its interactions with students and colleagues.
To more effectively meet the career development needs of all UNF students, Career Services implemented its College Career Liaison program by assigning staff members to each of the five colleges and for undeclared majors. This model established liaisons to develop stronger working relationships with faculty, administrators, and employers. These relationships resulted in greater awareness and utilization of career services, programs, and resources.
During summer 2007, Career Services staff members reviewed all evaluations and surveys received from constituents regarding career services, programs, and resources. In response to the feedback received, Career Services implemented a series of key initiatives that included the Comprehensive Outreach Program, “Career Wings” software system, STAR (Skills To Achieve Results) Program, Career Discoveries Program, and Peer Advisory Advisor Program.
