Becky Prather is December EOM

The University of Illinois Springfield is a school that strives to help students above all else, and Becky Prather is an employee that exemplifies how the staff take that philosophy to heart. For her efforts, she has been named the December Employee of the Month.

Becky works closely with students who are veterans and she serves as the staff advisor for the Military Veterans Student Organization. She helps to raise awareness for veteran issues, and provides a place where these students can gain friends and find assistance with their educational efforts.

She's is known among colleagues as a hard worker and someone who will step forward to take on any tasks that need to be completed. She stays late as necessary and is always accessible to students who need her assistance. As her nominator says, "Becky's first thought when she steps into work each day are the students."
