Annette Pendery

Annette Pendery

College of Arts and Sciences

"Pendery is not just an excellent staff member, she is a model of a team player, a creative genius, a tireless office contributor and our own superstar. Her work alone has impacted an entire college. While all of our staff members are amazing, no one has the widespread impact that Annette has had. We are indeed extremely lucky to have her in our college and she is absolutely deserving of the honor of the Outstanding Staff Member Award."

 
Kara Thompson

"Kara makes extraordinary contributions to students, faculty and staff. Her dedication to NKU is evident in how she does her job on a daily basis. Kara contributes to a culture of excellence in the workplace and always is looking for ways to improve our operations so that students can be better served. She also exemplifies collegiality in her day-to-day work in the office and is always ready to help her colleagues with a problem or task."

 
Toni Schneller

Toni Schneller

Center for Global Engagement and International Affairs

"What makes Toni unique is not her ability to perform her duties to perfection but her capacity and propensity to exceed all that can be reasonably expected of her.  Toni truly helps increase retention and graduation rates among international students by encouraging them to persist, especially through occasional adversity.  Her devotion has become well known and has most certainly been a factor in the decision of some students to enroll and remain at NKU."
