To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Next Step Program, the newest Special Tribute and Recognition (STAR) Award recipients were named at the program’s Faculty Institute 2015: Keep on Next Steppin’<\/em>, which was held June 1 to 3\u00a0 at UMass Amherst.<\/p>\n These awards are bestowed upon individuals who have contributed in extraordinary and\/or innovative ways toward the success of the Program. A STAR Award recipient is an individual who exemplifies many of the qualities that the Program desires to instill: teamwork, problem solving, quality, customer focus, and leadership.<\/p>\n One of this year’s recipients was Barbara Youngs, program assistant academics II in the School of Engineering and Industrial Technologies.<\/p>\n Barbara has provided major support for many years to Hudson Valley Community College’s Next Step program coordinators, the Next Step Program administrative staff, and the students.

She has provided complete, accurate, critical information in a timely manner and communicated effectively. Barbara always has\u00a0 stepped up and taken care of whatever was required to help the students succeed.<\/p>\n Congratulations, Barbara!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Published:<\/strong>\u00a0Thu, 04 Jun 2015 17:15:29 +0000 by\u00a0n.duchessi<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Next Step Program, the newest Special Tribute and Recognition (STAR) Award recipients…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2086,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6771","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-accolades"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6771","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2086"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6771"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6771\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6771"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6771"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wpdev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6771"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
