By October 5, 2017Faculty/Staff

The Delta State University Staff Council recently honored Teresa Yarbrough, administrative secretary/grants coordinator for the College of Education and Human Sciences, as the September 2017 Employee of the Month.

She has been working at the university for nine years.

Yarbrough is married to her husband Scott, and together they have five children and eight grandchildren. When not working, she enjoys spending time with her family, traveling to watch her grandchildren play sports, refurbishing furniture, baking and sewing.

Made up of volunteers from the Staff Council, the Incentives & Recognition committee meets monthly to review nominations for the Employee of the Month award. The committee has been celebrating staff performance in this manner for over 15 years.

Delta State’s Staff Council serves as a liaison between the administration and the staff to provide a formal process for staff to discuss issues involving university policies and procedures and to forward ideas, recommendations and opinions to the president.
