Tracey Hill, administrative support coordinator in the School of Humanities and Cultural Studies<\/a>, received a 2024 President\u2019s Award for Excellence in Leadership.<\/p>\n

The award reflects a particularly busy and transformative year for Hill.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn spring 2023, she undertook to train our newly hired young and inexperienced second administrative coordinator so that he could help her with the administrative work required to run a school that houses five undergraduate programs, three M.A. programs and numerous certificates and minors,\u201d said Alpana Sharma, Ph.D., professor of English and chair of the School of Humanities and Cultural Studies.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s more, she continues to shoulder most of the responsibility for this administrative work,\u201d Sharma added.<\/p>\n

In spring 2023, Hill also earned a Master of Education in Industrial Design and Learning Technology from Wright State. Referencing Hill\u2019s master\u2019s degree, Sharma said, \u201cShe is adept in classroom technology and instructional design, which is a big plus for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hill joined the school in the fall of 2022 at a critical time when the College of Liberal Arts<\/a> reorganized its departments into three new schools. At that time, Hill was responsible for the administrative functions vacated by the history, religion, philosophy and classics administrative support coordinator.<\/p>\n

The School of Humanities and Cultural Studies was in great flux and turbulence, making the transition challenging.<\/p>\n

\u201cFurther exacerbating the situation was our move from Millett Hall to Allyn Hall in summer 2023. Tracey ended up doing much of the packing of the main office and was responsible for ensuring our move went as smoothly as it did,\u201d Sharma said.<\/p>\n

The past year was noteworthy for her in other respects.<\/p>\n

Hill served on the College of Liberal Arts\u2019s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice Committee and the search committee for the associate director of the Bolinga Black Cultural Resources Center.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese voluntary activities demonstrate her dedication both to her professional growth and her desire to make a contribution to the university and the communities Wright State serves,\u201d Sharma said.<\/p>\n

Aside from her professional accomplishments, Hill gets high marks as a person.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlways warm, friendly and outgoing, she makes an indelible impression on students and faculty alike. She gives her job all she\u2019s got, and she puts people first,\u201d Sharma said. \u201cBesides this, she has proven to be adaptable, flexible and highly responsive. Faculty know when they write to her or come to her with their needs, she will give them top priority and full attention.\u201d<\/p>\n

In short, the sign of a good leader.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
