Elizabeth Rivera Named April’s Distinguished Staff of the Month

The Dean’s Office is pleased to announce that Elizabeth Rivera has been named Distinguished Staff of the Month for April.

A member of the Medical Education Office team for 18 years, Ms. Rivera is the Disease & Therapy (DRx) course coordinator, a position she’s held since the course started 13 years ago.

Her nominators say, “Elizabeth pivoted to working at home when quarantine was imposed last March and guided faculty to the end of DRx with minimal disruptions and planned and kicked-off the DRx fall 2020-21 year under ever-changing COVID-19 policies and protocols.

“She learns new skills to help faculty and manage administrative tasks. Elizabeth worked with faculty to adapt to new COVID restrictions, including Zoom lectures and small group discussions and remote exams with virtual proctoring.”

“Elizabeth has a positive attitude, dedication and grace under pressure!”

Congratulations!
