Laura Morello, a senior from Montgomery, has been named Samford University’s 2009 Student Employee of the Year.
An interior design and art major, Morello has worked as a student assistant in the reference department of the Samford library for almost three years.
Morello received a certificate and cash prize from Samford President Andrew Westmoreland during a special student employee recognition ceremony April 7. Her nomination will be submitted in regional competition. Student employees were nominated by their supervisors based on the unique contributions they make in their work area.
Morello was cited for her quick mastery of the reference department’s three primary areas: interlibrary loan, reference desk and government documents. Her enthusiastic initiative to learn new tasks and routines was also noted.
Other finalists were Joy Al-Massaad, JaNeshia Harrell, Dan Hopper, Hannah Joiner, Haley Longino and Rebecca Parker.
