Valentine Anamelechi, Event and Conference Services coordinator, received the Outstanding Campus Partner award at the Center for Women in Technology’s (CWIT) annual Community Awards event in April. The award is given to an individual or department that has actively collaborated with the Center toward its mission and goals.

At the event, CWIT staff noted: “Well, let's be honest, we probably wouldn't be here enjoying this fantastic event space without Valentine! As an Events and Conferences Services staff member, Valentine is responsible for working on event set-ups and logistics for all of campus...and as many of you know, CWIT has A LOT of events! Valentine has emerged as a fantastic campus partner, after CWIT struggled for years to overcome event logistics and troubleshooting with all of the back-and-forth and confusion that can occur in event planning. Valentine has consistently met with the CWIT team every two weeks to analyze all of the staffing, locations, resources, and other minutiae to help our events run more smoothly than ever. 

“This is a HUGE help for our department, and to the benefit of all attendees! Valentine is a wonderful professional who brings a sense of humor and fun to all of his interactions with CWIT. We would be lost without him and his dedication to helping us with our events throughout the school year!! Thank you, Valentine - we're honored to recognize you with this award.”

The Division of Student Affairs congratulates Valentine on this award and is grateful for his commitment to our campus partners!
