Congratulations to Riniya Countiss, July winner for the Seahawk Spirit Award! 

Riniya is the Manager of Human Resources and was nominated under the Kudos category.

This is what the nominator shared about Riniya: 

"Kudos Award - Riniya led the communication required to have a new Human Resources website developed. She even setup vendor calls with Interfolio to assist in the aid of the job listing functionality. Additionally she was quick to provide any needed assets and has spearheaded any requests related to the website's development. Furthermore, she is doing a great job of promoting St. Mary's College of Maryland's Human Resources department on LinkedIn. I believe that Riniya is the ultimate example of someone who deserves a Kudos Award."
 

As the monthly winner, Riniya will receive 5 meal tickets to the Great Room and a certificate of appreciation. 

If you see Riniya around on campus please congratulate her and thank Riniya for everything she does to make our SMCM community a wonderful place to be!
