Annie Rosenow \u201922, a political science major, and Richard Koutouan \u201921S (MBA), a graduate student at the Simon Business School<\/a>, are the 糖心传媒<\/a>\u2019s Student Employees of the Year.<\/p>\n Rosenow, from Williamsport, Pennsylvania, is a research and teaching assistant in the Department of Political Science<\/a> and was honored as the University\u2019s undergraduate recipient.<\/p>\n \u201cAnnie\u2019s communication is exceptional,\u201d says Dan Alexander, an assistant professor. \u201cFor course prep, she synthesizes large amounts of reference material to provide a clear narrative to structure the lecture. When my class went online last spring because of the pandemic, and I had to prerecord lectures because of childcare obligations, I asked Annie to join the lecture recording sessions with me.\u201d<\/p>\n Koutouan, from Chicago, is a Benet Career Peer at Simon, providing career search assistance and guidance to fellow MBA and MS students looking for full-time employment or internships. He is the University\u2019s graduate student employee of the year.<\/p>\n \u201cRichard\u2019s communication with students is straightforward, and I often see his ability to tailor his messaging and tone to specific situations,\u201d says MBA Career Director Ron Carlson. \u201cThe feedback I hear from students gives me the confidence to suggest they meet with him, knowing he\u2019ll recognize when to deliver a tough-love message and when to back off and allow a student to express frustration over a situation.\u201d<\/p>\n
