Cerro Coso Classified Staff Member of the Year, as Sweet as Her Name...
May 12, 2008
Candy
Caine, receptionist has been employed at Cerro Coso Community College since
2003 and has been bringing smiles to peoples faces ever since. This year Caine
was honored with not only the Classified Senate Classified Staff of the Year
award, but the Faculty Senate also honored Caine as their “Staff of the Year” as
well. It is believed that this may be the first time in Cerro Coso history that
a staff member has received both senate awards simultaneously. “This truly
speaks to the caliber of Candy’s work ethic and personality,” stated Cori
Ratliff, Cerro Coso Classified Senate President. Candy has been described as
helpful, having an outstanding attitude and having an “award-winning heart.” Her
fellow staff have wonderful things to say about her, such as, “As a part-time
employee, it makes me feel good to know that there are people like her carrying
on and making this such a wonderful place to work.” They go on to say, “Candy
has an outstanding attitude on the job, is most helpful with everyone who enters
the college and goes above and beyond for all.” Lisa Fuller, President of the
Academic Senate, indicated that one of the reasons Candy Caine was selected for
the Staff of the Year award from the faculty was because she was praised by the
Accrediting Team that had visited during our most recent accreditation. They
said how lucky we were to have Caine and what a wonderful first impression she
presented for the College. Candy Caine exemplifies customer service and a
friendly attitude and this is why she was selected by her peers for this year’s
Classified Staff of the Year award.
