Employee of the Month

Karen Gearhart

 


Karen is responsible for getting over 400 people accurately paid each month. She assists employees with benefit enrollment, and is responsible for leave accounting. Karen is always searching for better ways to complete her work and better serve our employees. She has responsibility for keeping up with regulations regarding the employment of foreign students, and has developed processes to keep them better informed of tax issues that may impact them. She is very conscientious in her work, and is able to research and find solutions for unique or difficult problems with little direction from her superiors.

Because of her intuitiveness and professionalism, Karen is given the latitude to work independently with people on- and off-campus. I can always trust the job will get done right.
