Retention & Completion Coordinator – Cardinal Learning Commons
""Jillian was the first person who came to mind as I thought about who exemplifies NIC professionalism, spirit, values, and work ethic. It does not take very long working in the same space as Jillian to realize she is a "go-getter". One does not have to ask her twice for help and she is always efficient and effective in her response. She is a true student advocate while, at the same time, supporting instructors in their endeavors to help students find success in academics. She thinks outside the box, has experience in the enrollment service side of NIC and now supports instruction as our Retention and Completion Coordinator. She is a perfect fit for this role and I appreciate her willingness to try new ideas. She is an essential part of FYE Convocation and is piloting an early alert system with the math department. Working with Jillian is a blessing. She is a true asset to NIC!"" - Tammy Payton, Professor - Mathematics
"“Jillian goes above and beyond to assist every student who enters the CLC. She is always happy to help and works hard to keep students active and engaged in the NIC community. She is not only an asset to students, but she brings joy to the whole office and we are fortunate to have her here.” " - Amanda Roberts, Assistant Professor - Cardinal Learning Commons
"“Jillian Gill is absolutely the caliber of employee who has earned the Sterling Silver Award. Jillian is a consummate professional. Her supreme work ethic, follow through and has a critical eye for detail that enables her to be highly effective in all that she does. Jillian is highly intelligent so she learns quickly and rarely, if ever, makes a mistake. She is so competent and so very skilled particularly related to processes, technology and data. I love that I can assign her a task and immediately check it off my list because I can always count on Jillian to be responsible and reliable. I am impressed with Jillian's unwavering desire to serve. In addition to her data and tech super powers she also has great interpersonal skills. She really enjoys helping students. She approaches her interactions with students with intention and a student-centered approach. In addition, she enjoys supporting her colleagues. She can routinely be found supporting Advising Services and FYE faculty. She is also the first to volunteer for events, even if they are not during her regular work hours. Jillian is deeply passionate about serving students and makes the office a fun place to be. She has worked hard this past year to support FYE and Cardinal Convocation as well as develop and implement an early alert process which rolled out this fall. Any task or project that Jillian leads turns to gold.” " - Holly Edwards, Cardinal Learning Commons Director/Instructor - CS Division

She always has a compliment to share with those around her, and she has great contacts when things need to be changed or when issues arise. She is above all, student focused - Jillian makes decisions to help students be successful. We love having Jillian in the Cardinal Learning Commons!” " - Sarah Adams, Math Education Center Coordinator - Mathematics
