2024 Student Employee of the Year

We present the 2024 Student Employee of the Year award to Mady Johnson!​

"Mady swiftly transcended the boundaries of her initial role. Her ability to manage and enhance our [online platform] presence while fostering partnerships with our social collaborators on campus was nothing short of remarkable. Beyond her technical accomplishments, Mady showed leadership and creativity by developing our organic social media strategy for Black History Month and Women's History Month ... her Vincentian spirit shone brightly ... proving her commitment not only to our department but to our community at large. Above all, Mady's positive attitude, her readiness to tackle new challenges, and her capacity to adapt and thrive in dynamic environments are what truly make her stand out."

2024 Supervisor of the Year

We present the 2024 Supervisor of the Year award to Jennie von Drehle!

“Jennie's commitment to excellence and her ability to inspire and guide both colleagues and students alike have left an indelible mark on our university. She not only aided in enhancing my academic and social experiences at DePaul but also demonstrated exceptional skill in fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment. Jennie's genuine interest in understanding and celebrating my cultural background has made me feel valued and respected, contributing significantly to my sense of belonging within the university community. Jennie's deep understanding of DePaul's mission and values, coupled with her unparalleled professionalism ... has been instrumental in achieving shared goals and fostering a sense of community."
