Tell Us About It This very tool for recognizing others that I'm using to recognize Cori is a new one she initiated during this time. She saw that connecting others through celebration is something that we need even more in our remote conditions, when things can feel really challenging and isolating. In addition to developing such an important recognition tool, Cori is a central figure in building social connection within our office, while we maintain physical distance.

Cori has been one of the best utility-knife players I've ever worked with, and her adaptability and range of lens and skills are such a shiny tool set, but never as much as during the current conditions. Whether she is creating and supporting DLCs in recognition of staff contributions, or she is acting on the importance of social connection and beauty in our everyday office environment, she brings her core as an artist and layers it with her business focus on results, engagement, and celebrations of the great work that happens every day across campus. That she does this as a part-time job is always such an inspiring feat to me.

It's great to work with you, Cori - thank you for all you do, especially right now!
