<p><strong>Explain the act of kindness that was significantly above and beyond the requirements::</strong> &nbsp;Becky always has a positive attitude and is willing to go above and beyond for others. Some specific examples include creating a diaper cake for my baby's baby shower, directing me to the proper person (people) anytime I need assistance, and reminding our faculty members about upcoming deadlines and tasks that need to be accomplished. Becky's actions are definitely congruent with the Ranger "Spirit" that our university desires.</p>]]></description><guid>http://www.nwosu.edu/campus-kudos-winner-for-the-month-of-august-goes-to-becky-hansen</guid></item><item><title>Campus Kudos winner for the month of April goes to Dean Kilgore</title><link>http://www.nwosu.edu/campus-kudos-winner-for-the-month-of-april-goes-to</link><pubDate>Tue, 04 May 2010 20:14:55 GMT</pubDate><itunes:author>Denise Bay</itunes:author><dc:creator>Denise Bay</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Name of Employee Nominated:</strong> &nbsp;Dean Kilgore</p>

Furthermore he takes care of the bottom floor in Jesse Dunn and the traffic there does not always have clean shoes! I have never seen anything on the floor and I believe he is prideful and mindful of his work. I believe his friendliness and workmanship make him very deserving of recognition.<br />

She is a great motivator and is helping to make our campus a healthier one.  We think coordinating this event and assuring that it runs so well is something above and beyond her regular duties. She is getting more people to participate in a healthy lifestyle. Kudos, Lendi!</span></p>
