Brenda Hearn, academic records coordinator at Northwestern Oklahoma State University, has been selected by the Staff Council as the recipient of the 2020 spring semester Campus Kudos Award. Angelia Case, academic projects assistant/media specialist, and Valarie Case, university relations specialist, have been selected by the Staff Council as the recipients of the 2020 summer semester Campus Kudos Awards.


The person nominating Hearn for this award said, “I call her frequently to request degree audits for different students and for my student veterans. She is always kind and very helpful any time I call her. She is also willing to walk me through a degree audit, especially if I have questions about credits or classes. I know she is particularly busy, especially with our transition to the new Self-Service program. She is always quick to respond and very polite when I call.”


Campus Kudos is a public acknowledgement created by the Northwestern Staff Council that applauds the efforts of eligible staff members who have displayed an act of kindness above their job responsibilities. This award is presented each semester, including the summer term.


The person nominating the Case sisters for this award said, “I often find myself tempted to nominate Angelia because she consistently shows kindness above and beyond the requirements of her position. However, I feel particularly convinced that she and Valarie deserve Campus Kudos now for their efforts to provide masks to the campus community and those beyond.”
