Congratulate The Spring A 2011 Teammate Of The Module......Mr. Brandon Nowak!

For the third module in a row, the Roseville management team has, with painstaking effort and conversation, nominated a Teammate of the Module.  I have to say, however, that this module has been the toughest one yet.  So many people were nominated, and all were very deserving of the distinction.

As the panel convened, however, the decision was made to elect Mr. Brandon Nowak as the Spring A 2011 Teammate of the Module!

Brandon Nowak started with Dorsey Schools in February of 2010 working full-time in the admissions department, where he remained until December of the same year when he made the decision to leave the admissions department and move to the faculty team.  Due to Mr. Nowak’s dedication and work ethic in the admissions team, he was welcomed to join the faculty team and has contributed to its success in countless ways.  Here are just a few:

·         Having the most unique perspective on the faculty team, Mr. Nowak has streamlined the AZTEC process by sharing documents and creating a scheduling system for increased efficiency and to facilitate the testing.  As a result of these efforts, Admissions has been able to significantly increase the amount of students that complete the Aztec test before starting school. 

·         Without any coercion or directive, Mr. Nowak volunteered to take on the project of running our online blog, The Dorsey Dish.  He has done an amazing job on setting up the blog, but his consistent, daily contributions and oversight are incredibly valuable. 

·         While only with the faculty team for three modules now, Mr. Nowak has already received six certificates for achieving perfect pass rates on his students’ standardized final exams.  This, while learning the computer system, new software and the curriculum – and having taught SEVEN DIFFERENT classes so far.

·         Again, without any solicitation, Mr. Nowak has become the resident IT guru, becoming very active with Steve Wassel and Mary Lee in the distribution / workshops and troubleshooting of our netbooks.  Additionally, Mr. Nowak participated with Ms. Lee and Mr. Wassel in training ALL of our sister campuses in properly troubleshooting and executing effective workshops and distribution of netbooks.

Mr. Nowak’s unique perspective on the school, having worked in two different departments now, has, indeed, made him a valuable asset to the strategy of the faculty team.  His insights into the admissions and retention process have helped our campus continue to grow and retain students each module.  In fact, our student retention for the Spring A module reached an all-time high!

Please join me in congratulating Mr. Brandon Nowak on this distinction. 

Thank you, Mr. Nowak, for your continued dedication to Dorsey Schools.  Your students, both those you enrolled and those you have taught, have become better people due to your hard work!
