June’s strong work ethic and commitment to excellence is equally matched by great class, dignity, and collegiality making her a joy to work with. She played a vital role in the 2019 SingHealth/Duke-NUS Education Conference, liaising with the overseas plenary speaker and managing logistics. She coordinated efficiently with local speakers for symposiums and workshops and provided secretariat support during the pre-and actual conferences. Her energy and positivity contributed to the resounding success of the event.
What does it mean to be an administrative staff? If Duke-NUS is a tree, the administrative staff are the roots – the foundation level of the organisation that makes things happen. Our Education administrators have been quietly running the show backstage to ensure the curriculum continues around the COVID-19 restrictions. It has been a challenging period and I applaud my colleagues for their dedication.
“I am greatly encouraged by this achievement and recognition. I’m thankful for my team and pledge to perform even better in my role.”
Catherine’s scope for the graduate programme ensures all aspects over the students’ tenure are well taken care of. From organising and overseeing everything from enrolment, orientation, class work to exams and final thesis submission, she works well independently and provided new work flows and approaches when needed. Always proactive and she will ensure all tasks are fulfilled timely and with quality.
What does it mean to be an administrative staff? We have to be all rounded and know how Duke-NUS operates and find the right people to contact.
“I am extremely gratified for this award. My deepest appreciation to my bosses for their constant support and trust in me.”
Carolina is an enthusiastic and extremely reliable staff who will execute areas of work responsibilities from end to end with accuracy, completeness and quality. She is able to provide important insights and diligently managed the hiring of critical senior roles even in niche areas. A highly confident staff, she advocates service excellence in providing solid advisory to business units on various staff matters.
What does it mean to be an administrative staff? All administrative staff play a vital role in contributing to Duke-NUS’ mission and vision. As a HR Partner, I ensure that all hiring needs are met in compliance with regulations and policies. Our role in continuously attracting, retaining the right talents by fostering staff affirmation, sense of involvement, belonging and commitment to the School, contributes to People Excellence and cultivating a more positive work culture within Duke-NUS.
“I am humbled by this recognition and grateful to be supported by a dedicated team. The team work, camaraderie and resilient spirit keeps me going each day!”
