Waves of Gratitude for Wanda Waldrop of Manufacturing for Respect, Student Engagement, Community Engagement, and Staff support. Wanda puts so much work into supporting her students and her team, as well as others who are part of the students’ network. Even in difficult situations, Wanda manages to laugh and is always so wonderful to work with. submitted by Miranda Levy of Student Accessibility Services.

As a reminder, for those wishing to acknowledge the work of fellow shoreline staff members or a group at Shoreline, you need only submit a Waves of Gratitude form for individuals or a Shoreline Shoutout for groups.  Thank you from the Employee Recognition Committee – Rob, Wanda, and Megan.
