Photo by Jerrod Niles.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>On Tuesday, Jan. 24, Sandra Cordell was recognized for going above and beyond as an employee of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, Jan. 25, she is scheduled to have surgery as part of her cancer treatment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;m actually still going through my journey. I have not finished yet. I&#8217;ve finished chemotherapy and radiation, but I&#8217;m still going through the surgeries and reconstruction,\u201d said Cordell, program and project coordinator and Veterans Entrepreneurship Program director\u00a0in the Gary W. Rollins College of Business and a breast cancer survivor.<\/p>\n<p>Her continuing and outstanding work with the VEP while also facing cancer earned her a Chancellor\u2019s Blue Ribbon Award. Employees are nominated by co-workers for the recognition, bestowed twice-yearly in a luncheon gathering hosted by Chancellor Steven R. Angle.<\/p>\n<p>Cordell is one of six employees chosen over the second half of 2022, with a monthly honoree for each month from July until December.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have to say it humbled me quite a bit,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>In recognizing the most recent award recipients on Tuesday, Angle emphasized his commitment to acknowledging exceptional work performance and commitment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s so important for us as a university to acknowledge you and what you do, taking the time to look at the accomplishments to show how you do your job; what you&#8217;ve done; the people who feel so fortunate to work with you and nominate nominated you,\u201d Angle told the honorees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn many cases, it&#8217;s just fun for them to see you being acknowledged for what you do and who you are, the difference you make in the lives of our students.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In nomination letters for the August award, Joseph McCauley, academic advisor for the College of Arts and Sciences, was described as \u201cfirst-one-in, last-one-out\u201d by co-workers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was told early on that, when you have a job to do, you do that job,\u201d he said. \u201cIf that means you have to get there early in the morning and you are the last person that darkens the door at the end, that&#8217;s what you do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Emily Rosenquist<strong>,<\/strong> assistant director for advocacy and education in the Center for Women and Gender Equity, earned the Blue Ribbon Award for December. She said had been on the nominating end of the award in the past and to win one herself left her \u201cin a little bit of disbelief.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know that it was really genuine from them because I&#8217;ve worked with them to nominate other people,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Cordell, a U.S. Navy veteran, said, \u201cI&#8217;m military\u2014get the job done; put your head down and get it done\u2014I can do it all myself,\u201d but cancer treatments taught her that she actually couldn\u2019t do it all herself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI leaned on my team more. It helped me to open up more and build those friendships even more,\u201d she said. \u201cIt&#8217;s just brought me so much more happiness when you look at the big picture. It taught me to appreciate the important things.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_47821\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"785\" data-attachment-id=\"47821\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2023\/01\/award-winning-employees-blue-ribbon-honors-go-to-universitys-best\/blue-ribbon-23-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/01\/Blue-Ribbon-Awards-23-421.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1280,785\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Angela Foster\/University of Tennessee at Chattanooga&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;ILCE-7M4&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Blue Ribbon luncheon Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2023 in the Chickamauga Room of the University Center.
