For her efforts, Michelle Thompson recently received the August Essential Piece Award from the school&#8217;s Recognition Team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those who nominated her praised how she&#8217;s handled the unique challenges of the past year and a half \u2014 for one thing, she helped facilitate sorority and fraternity recruitment in a virtual format, which was a major undertaking. They also noted the empathy and kindness she shows students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thompson, who&#8217;s been at Transylvania for five years, provides support to all student organizations and community engagement programs, helping continue the university&#8217;s commitment that&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/2020\/09\/transylvania-among-washington-monthlys-top-10-liberal-arts-colleges-for-community-service-soars-in-overall-rankings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">earned it a spot<\/a>&nbsp;in Washington Monthly&#8217;s top 10 liberal arts colleges for promoting public service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her work with the Greek community includes advising the College Panhellenic Association and Interfraternity&nbsp;Council. She supports the Student Government Association and Student Activities Board as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thompson also remodeled the school&#8217;s leadership programs into one group for first-year
