1. Briefly describe the nominee’s job duties.

Donna runs DPP (the Dakota Prairie Playhouse) and summer conferences on campus. About 5 months ago she agreed to take on a broader role coordinating and/or consulting on special events as time permits.

2. Describe the nominee’s dedication and interest in getting the job done, his/her personaland professional strengths, and the quantity and quality of his/her work.

She has gracefully offered to work more with faculty and staff university-wide to bring her special events expertise to bear to enhance the quality of DSU's events. She is also chairing DSU's 125th anniversary celebration. She is organized, helpful, and committed to doing high quality work.

3. Describe the nominee’s adaptability to circumstances and creative problem solving
ability. Include examples of exceptional and/or significant contributions during the past
12 months.

Exceptional contributions during the last 12 months include leading our 125th anniversary bash and helping others at DSU produce high quality special events.

4. Describe the nominee’s ability to interact/work well with others. 

Donna is diplomatic and personable.

5. Describe any special service to fellow employees, the university community or to other individuals, organizations or communities.

The 125th anniversary committee that Donna chairs is making various celebratory events, etc. avialable to DSU faculty, staff and students, and to the community. These include a recent kick-off event in the Mundt foundation. Also Gene Hexom in the role of General Beadle is available to schools and organizations.

6. Are there any other ways in which the nominee has distinguished himself/herself?

Probably but leading the 125th anniversary committee and offering her events expertise to the campus are the keys from my perspective.
