MACOMB, IL -- Jeanine Pollmeier, admissions/records representative in Western Illinois University Admissions, has been named the WIU January Civil Service Employee of the Month.

According to her nominators, Pollmeier is dedicated to her job and to her co-workers.
"The processing area in undergraduate admissions is quite busy and sometimes stressful, with constant interruptions, but Jeanine is always positive and willing to put her work aside to help someone else. One of the most important characteristics she possessess is her patience, which she demonstrates on a daily basis."

"In the past two years there have been three individuals hired in the processing area, and Jeanine has played a huge role in training and tutoring. Even though she has her own daily tasks to accomplish, she carried the extra load to provide training in a caring and thoughtful manner," her nominators added.

Pollmeier began working at Western in October 2003 as an admissions clerk and in January 2005 her position was reallocated to admissions/records specialist I. She was promoted to her current position in January 2007.

"Jeanine is to be commended for her efficiency and her dedication to her job, to her co-workers and to the University," said Laura Caldwell, Civil Service Employees Council (CSEC) public relations representative. "Jeanine illustrates the outstanding employees we are fortunate to have at Western Illinois University."

Western faculty, staff and administrators, as well as community members, wishing to nominate a civil service employee for this recognition should contact Caldwell at (309) 298-1000 or e-mail LM-Caldwell@wiu.edu.
