Tammy Subotich, the stockroom manager, with the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, is Old Dominion University's Employee of the Month for November.
Subotich has been with the University since 1989.
Subotich was recognized for her hard work and dedication to her role. According to her supervisor Alicia Herr, "Tammy is smart and creative. She has played a vital role in the planning of ODU's new chemistry building. She is a great networker, which has led to our department learning some best practices and tips from other professionals as we make progress with the chemistry building's development."
John Cooper, the department chair of Chemistry and Biochemistry, echoed Herr's sentiment by recognizing Subotich for her in-depth involvement as well as her ability to formulate and execute plans.
"Tammy excels in her role and ensures that all requirements are met," Cooper said. "Often times, she is ten steps ahead, proactively creating solutions to problems that we didn't know would exist. Tammy has been a stellar employee at ODU, even beyond her own department."
DETAILS ABOUT THE EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH PROCESS
The University Employee of the Month Selection Committee encourages employees to nominate their outstanding, "go the extra mile" colleagues and employees.
