Last week, Meredith Barrett, A&L’s Assistant Director for Writing and Related Literacies, was named RISD’s Supervisor of the Year for undergraduates. We are all so proud of her wonderfully deserved honor! Meredith brings enormous care, support, and intelligence to her work as a supervisor, educator, and mentor to all of A&L’s tutors. Tutor Jude Bigboy’s nomination letter, read aloud by Kevin Lynch, Director of Student Employment, was beautiful in so many ways. Thank you, Jude, for taking time to reflect and share your experience and perspective so generously. And congratulations to two of A&L’s tutors, Cindy Qiao and Derek Russell, who were among the nominees for Student Employee of the Year. And thank you to President Williams for her lovely comments and appreciation for how much student employees give to the RISD community and to Kevin and Nelly for creating such a joyful occasion!
