The Staff Shout Out program at Appalachian State University announces Lacy Schmidt, Assistant Director in App State’s Brantley Risk & Insurance Center as the winner of its June drawing. She will receive a gift from the University Bookstore as part of her recognition.
Dr. David Marlett recognized Lacy for being a tireless advocate for students and always willing to help. She is hard working, creative and gets things done!
"It feels so nice to be recognized for my work and I feel very fortunate to be a part of such a supportive, enthusiastic, and positive team. One of my major functions is to support risk management and insurance students and, as most recognize, students need a high level of support right now. I am grateful every day that our office is able to work creatively together to reach these students and help them achieve their goals,” Schmidt said.
