Every student needs a hand when transitioning to college life. But helping first-year students acclimate to campus during COVID-19, when so much is new to so many, requires special agility, openness and a calm and comforting mien. It\u2019s why Transylvania University has Denise Hall, assistant director for student success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the recipient of the Transylvania Recognition Team’s Essential Piece Award for October, Hall is being honored among staff and faculty for her \u201cdedication to student success and for working tirelessly and without acclaim for the betterment of the university.\u201d The award acknowledges faculty and staff for their outstanding work and character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hall, a 2013 alumna, understands the honor of being recognized at a time when everyone in the community is working hard to maintain the special Transylvania experience during such challenging circumstances. \u201cWe set a really high bar at Transy,\u201d Hall says, \u201cand nothing will change that \u2014 not even a global pandemic!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nominating statement from the admissions office commends Hall\u2019s ability to meet the needs of students \u201cevery step of the way\u201d and her \u201cdeep dedication to service to the university community,\u201d adding that she is \u201cone of the kindest people you will ever meet.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Hall, who is marking her fifth year as an employee at Transylvania, the driving force behind her work is the students she serves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI’ve learned so much from the new students who came to Transy this fall. They are resilient, innovative, tenacious and principled. I love that I get to help them form their first impressions as a Transy student and to be one of the first to guide them toward the impact they want to make on our campus and beyond. To be trusted with that work is really special to me, and to have the opportunity to collaborate with so many talented and passionate people at Transy is inspiring.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
