Today we offer up our gratitude to Marisol Uribe, who serves as program manager for the Office for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. A PVM community member stated, “Marisol is a fantastic team player who has shown remarkable dedication and a positive attitude. She willingly takes on extra responsibilities when needed, all while managing an already busy schedule. Her efforts were crucial in supporting five summer programs and mediation training through the DEI office. Her ability to go the extra mile with a smile is truly inspiring.” We appreciate all you do to support our college, Marisol!

Fostering a healthy work environment involves expressing appreciation and gratitude.
