At their February meeting, the University of Nebraska Board of Regents presented Gloria Marchio with a KUDOS Award for her quick thinking and dedication to supporting faculty and staff.

As the office assistant for the Department of Political Science at the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO), Marchio is known for her positive attitude and her ability to keep the "team" going.

One of her nominators said that “Gloria keeps our department functioning, but also, she is the glue that keeps us together and energizes us each day when tests, grading, classes, deadlines, and conferences can feel overwhelming. She keeps us resilient with her quick thinking, her knowledge on process, and helps us conquer the day.”

Marchio’s support helps to foster collaboration in the department, keeping faculty in sync as they teach classes, work on various projects, attend conferences to present research, and meet other demands.

“She goes above her duties to ensure faculty are equipped to teach their courses, conduct research, and collaborate with community members. Without her, the faculty would be running around confused on how to schedule travel, budget their grants, and employ students for their research. She keeps us straight on our deadlines and does it all way a positive attitude.”

In presenting the Board of Regents KUDOS award to Marchio, UNO Student Body President/Regent Hakim Lotoro thanked her for her dedication to the University of Nebraska at Omaha and the UNO Department of Political Science.

Congratulations, Gloria!
