The Staff Advisory Committee is pleased to announce the latest staff member to be selected as a "SLU Star." This employee is being honored because a fellow member of the University community praised her for recent instances in which she performed "above and beyond" and demonstrated the Ignatian ideals of magis, a striving for excellence, and cura personalis, a personal concern and respect for others. Using the nominator's own words, the committee congratulates this month's SLU Star.
Laura Bianchi (medical secretary, department of surgery): "Laura played a key role in helping organize an appreciation dinner for George Kaiser, M.D., who retired as the chief of cardiothoracic surgery on April 25. The dinner was held with 120 colleagues and friends of George attending. Laura also was instrumental in raising more than $125,000 to fund an endowed lectureship honoring Dr. Kaiser. She spent many 'off the clock' hours in the evenings working on the project. The dinner was wonderful due to her hard work, excellence and her ability to motivate others!"
TAKE NOTE: The selection committee welcomes nominations from any member of the University community. Employees eligible to receive a SLU Star are those who perform staff and administrative functions. This includes supervisors, administrators and faculty who are administrators. Nomination forms are available from any campus human resources office.
