ECE Academic Assistant Elizabeth Rivera-Cortes has won a 2022 Division Three Superior Accomplishment Award. UF’s Superior Accomplishment Awards recognize faculty and staff members who contribute outstanding and meritorious service, efficiency and/or economy, or to the quality of life provided to students and employees. In other words, Superior Accomplishment Awards recognize efforts that go the extra mile and beyond an employee’s normal assigned duties. Division-level award recipients receive cash awards of $200 each, then compete for university-level awards, which offer eight $1,000 and eight $2,000 cash awards.

Elizabeth has worked for the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering since 2018 and has quickly become an indispensable employee, serving as the first point of contact for the Student Services area, serving over 1500 ECE students. In this role, she ensures that students are directed to the appropriate resources and ensures that all posted course syllabi for the department are publicly available and accurate. She also supports the advising team, oversees the textbook assignment process, and oversees grade collection for the department.

Her supervisor, Shannon Chillingworth, Manager of Academic Support Services for the department, adds:

“During her tenure in the department, Elizabeth has proven to be a dedicated employee with an exemplary work ethic. Elizabeth works hard to assure that our courses are offered, our students needs are met quickly, and our faculty receive the academic support they need efficiently. Elizabeth is an essential part of the Student Services team and we thank her for all that she does!”

Please join ECE in congratulating Elizabeth for this well-deserved honor.
