We will always remember her giving heart - #UCSChampions

Sandy Austin is so much more than an administrative assistant.

It’s often those people that work ‘behind the scenes’ that are SO MUCH MORE than just someone behind a desk. Sandy has been an amazing support the last couple of years. She offered help and guidance when my son was graduating last year and we will always remember her giving heart.

This year she has been there along the way to ease some IN PERSON anxiety my daughter has been experiencing. If I sent an email or jingled her she was there to assist. She offered many options to keep her in school and to calm her nerves.A couple of times she brought her to the clinic, but recently she took the time to sit with my daughter, chat, have a snack and even play some music while my daughter took a deep breath so she could return to class.

No matter how busy she is...and we know she is a busy gal...she stops what she is doing to make the student a priority. Sandy has a calming demeanor and a friendly smile ALWAYS! She is definitely a UCS CHAMPION.
