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!"
