ELLENSBURG, Wash.-- Noella Wyatt, Central Washington University career services office manager, has been named CWU's June civil service employee of the month.

Those nominating Wyatt noted:

• "Noella has worked at Central for 27 years. She is the corporate memory of our department."
• "As a graduate of CWU, she understands procedures from a student and staff perspective. We could not run these offices efficiently without her flexibility and willingness to get the job done effectively."
• "Noella volunteers as a celebrity server with dining services at every opportunity. She participates on the Native American Commission and Indian Country Commission. Noella's been actively involved in the Western Art Association for the past 16 years. She is an avid member of Toastmasters International and has won numerous awards with Toastmasters. In all of her activities, she always serves as a genuinely proud member of CWU."
• "Professionally, she is the best. Personally, her humor and love for humankind moves us forward each day."

During a recent surprise ceremony on campus, Wyatt received a certificate and $100 cash award from the president's discretionary fund, through the CWU civil service employee recognition program.
