The Delta State University Staff Council recently honored Abbey Atwill, campaign and research coordinator for University Advancement and External Relations, as the January 2018 Employee of the Month.
She joined Delta State in 2016 after beginning her career in Little Rock, Arkansas, working in event planning and public relations.
Atwill, a native of Brinkley, Arkansas, attended the University of Arkansas and received a Bachelor of Science in human environmental science with a concentration in food, human nutrition and hospitality.
In her free time, she enjoys traveling, spending time with family and cheering for the Razorbacks.
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.
