Tomcat Tributes

Tomcat Tributes recognize the teamwork Thiel College employees exhibit each day. Employees can nominate co-workers for recognition in four categories (Random Act of Kindness, Going the Extra Mile, Had a Great Idea, Just Because).

Going the extra mile
Nominator: Allen Morrill
Nominee: Anna Reinsel, Ph.D. ’06
Comment: “Anna literally went the extra mile leading the Thiel Cycling Club on their 230-mile ride to Washington, DC. It was a joy to watch Anna interact with the students. She found multiple teaching opportunities, as she stopped the ride to point out flora and fauna. Bravo, Dr. R!”

Email signatures, brand resources, and a job request form are all available online. A Dropbox folder has been set up with instructions and the materials necessary to create new email signatures.
