Honorees
2024
Madison Price, Admissions/Records Assistant IV, Elko Campus
"I would like to nominate Madison Price for Outstanding Classified. Madison works her heart out for GBC. Most people understand her significant commitment to making GBC graduation ceremonies around the state successful. Many GBC employees may not know she also gracefully and diligently tackles dual enrollment registration. Over the past year, she still worked diligently to develop an online dual credit registration form. She continues to work with counselors throughout our service area to get their input on the new registration procedures and frequently meets with them and high school students to help with enrollment. The counselors in Elko and Spring Creek frequently state how accessible she is to their questions and concerns, and this is exactly what GBC needs to build relationships with our high school partners. Madison is an energetic, important, GBC all-star!"
2020-21
Janet Vega, Admissions/Records Assistant IV, Elko Campus 
- I would like to nominate Janet Vega for outstanding Classified Employee.
- Janet Vega has gone above and beyond the call of duty in the Admissions and Records Department. After the resignation of the Registrar, Assistant Registrar, and AR4 Janet was the only full time employee left in the department. Janet held down the fort and went above and beyond her duties to make sure that the department ran and provided excellent service to our students and other stakeholders. Janet worked hard to ensure that the needs of the department were being met and she even provided oversight and direction to our student workers in the department. Janet has since been promoted to the new AR4 in the office and has provided training and supervision to our new AR3. Janet has devoted so much to GBC and she is deserving of the Outstanding Classified Employee Award.
Sheree Beard, Administrative Assistant III, Elko Campus
- I would like to nominate Sheree Beard as Outstanding Classified Employee. She works hard at her regular tasks, yet always makes time to help and support others. She goes the extra mile, even behind the scenes, to help others succeed. That behavior is what truly makes her outstanding.
