Applause for Allison Slabaugh

“Allison is an extraordinary member of the career coaching team and the CAS Student Success Team more broadly. She's consistent, dependable, creative, collaborative, and outspoken with her ideas. 

She regularly jumps into opportunities without a lot of specific information, trusting that she can figure it out and ask questions as she goes. A prime example of this is when, at the last minute, Honors needed a replacement instructor for one of their 8-week seminars. Without hesitation, and with only a couple of day's notice, Allison took on this responsibility. 

Similarly, when we launched our new CASC 400 course to support graduating seniors with their transition out of the university, she picked up this project and ran with it. She created this course from scratch, and taught it in-person for the first time in the spring, with glowing student feedback. 

Consistently, she establishes strong relationships with the students she serves, and they come back time and time again for more of her support. She is deeply knowledgeable and makes a point to prioritize her own learning and professional development.  She brings kindness, warmth, and a wonderful sense of humor and is a joy to work with every day, and is more than deserving of an Applause Award!”
