On April 11, the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences paid tribute to outstanding faculty and staff at its annual appreciation and awards event.

Ms. Skeeter was recognized for her dedication to students, alumni, faculty and fellow staff members; for her institutional knowledge and career expertise; and for her generous and kind spirit.
