Portrait of Carlene Linn

Today we are highlighting Carlene Linn, executive assistant to the associate dean for academic affairs. The nominator said, “I appreciate Carlene Linn for frequently asking me how I’m doing, and really caring to hear my response. It never feels like she is just asking because it’s the polite thing to do. My role in the college is primarily to provide support for others, so it feels really nice when someone looks out for me, too. Thank you for your kindness, Carlene!”

Fostering a healthy work environment involves expressing appreciation and gratitude. Is there someone at PVM you would like to acknowledge today?
