Camesha Benson '05 was named the June 2015 Employee of the Month.

The Delta State University Staff Council recently honored Camesha Benson as the June 2015 Employee of the Month. Benson is the assistant director of Student Business Services.

A native of Water Valley, Miss., Benson came to Delta State to further her education. Upon receiving her bachelor’s degree in 2005 in business administration, she took a senior secretary position in the Division of Teacher Education. She later transferred to Student Business Services.

“I was taught to do my best, never give up and to always remain humble,” said Benson. “My co-workers are the best any office can have. We motivate, encourage and work well together. I greatly appreciate the person who nominated me, as well as the members of staff council who saw fit for me to become employee of the month. Receiving this recognition for the second time is truly an honor. This lets me know that hard work, regardless of circumstances, does pay off.”

Employee of the Month distinction is given to a staff member who has provided service at Delta State that is considered over and beyond those duties outlined in his or her job description. Nominations are submitted by colleagues on campus.

Each winner receives a plaque, monetary award, WalMart gift card from the Student Government Association, an engraved insulated coffee mug, a free parking decal courtesy of the Campus Police Department, a box of treats from The Sweetery, a parking spot of their choice, marquee announcement and website recognition.
