Excerpts from Nomination letters:

“I knew I was getting a great employee in Ruth because she had already established a stellar work record with Special Collections. I assign Ruth a variety of projects, each with a different timeline. She has consistently balanced a significant workload with grace and ease. I can count on Ruth to efficiently manage multiple projects with little to no interference from me."

"I make it clear to my interns that although they hold student positions at the Library, I consider them professionals and require them to act, dress and work accordingly. Ruth took on this request with aplomb and quickly transitioned to the culture in our administrative office. I have brought Ruth to meetings with administrators and with the creative team at the OSU Foundation. She has a confident and easy manner at these meetings. One might expect a student to be withdrawn in these situations, but Ruth is an active participant."
