UNO Names Barbara Alexander Employee of the Month

Barbara Alexander, enrollment specialist at the Office of the University Registrar, has been named UNO’s employee of the month for April 2022.

Alexander was surprised by the UNO Celebration Committee on Thursday, April 21, to celebrate the honor.

In her nominations, Alexander’s knowledge and hard work were highlighted.

"Barbara is a key contributor to our office," her nominator said. "She has taken on everything that’s been handed to her to the point where she is an expert on many of the processes our office is involved with, and is someone we can all bounce ideas off of because she provided great feedback and new ways of tackling issues we might face in serving our students, faculty, and staff."

In her role, Alexander fields all emails that come to the UNO Registrar email address, working with everyone from prospective students to faculty and staff.

"She is quick to respond professionally, courteously, and knowledgeably to all of these audiences, and because of this, we are able to provide great, personalized customer service in an electronic format," her nominator said.

As COVID has forced many to work remotely, she has seamlessly transitioned from working in-person to remote or hybrid work.

“Barbara knows her job well. I always know I can count on her to know or remember some little detail that I might be missing when I’m thinking through how to solve something I’m working on,” her nominator said. “Whatever it is, I know she can be counted on.”

For being awarded as Employee of the Month, Alexander will receive a certificate, a hot/cold tumbler provided by the UNO Bookstore, a monetary award, two tickets to a UNO sporting event, and use of a designated parking space.
