Knight was named ODU Employee of the Year in 1991 by the Hourly and Classified Employees Association. Among the many letters sent in support of her nomination for the award, one colleague wrote, "I do not believe that I have ever seen her give less than 100 percent, no matter what the circumstances. Her goal is to get the job done and done well. I have never seen her miss her goal."
