Nicole Meismer is May Employee of the Month

Nicole Meismer works as a math specialist in The Learning Hub, where she's often working with students in back-to-back appointments without a break. She does anything she can to ensure student success, and offers great support to her colleagues. For these reasons and more, she has been selected as the University of Illinois Springfield Employee of the Month for May.

Her supervisor says Nicole is an "exemplary supervisor, giving her employees support, training, and resources to achieve goals." She also recognizes the hard work her tutors do by organizing a tutor appreciation celebration each year, and also selecting one each month for the "Tutor of the Month" award.

Student success, however, is Nicole's priority, and she "encourages new and innovative ways of supporting students," her supervisor notes. She works countless hours to assist students, often coming in on weekends to ensure students have tutoring services.

Her nominator says Nicole "has helped shape The Learning Hub into what it is today and is a vital member of the Center for Academic Success."
