NDSU Staff Senate has given special recognition to Barb Geeslin, assistant to the dean of business.

During its Nov. 4 meeting, Staff Senate presented a plaque to Geeslin honoring her for leading by example and her strong dedication to NDSU. It reads, in part, “By demonstrating the values we stand for in our everyday work, you have become a true leader in our organization. You have taken it upon yourself to lead the way with great tact and dependability. You stand out.”

Geeslin has held several positions with Staff Senate, including president, vice president and past president, and has been active in numerous Staff Senate committees.

“The award represents her outstanding dedication to NDSU staff through her contributions to NDSU Staff Senate,” said Vance Olson, Staff Senate president. “She has served our university through her constant commitment and unwavering sense of direction. Barb exemplifies the traits of a true staff leader.”

During the presentation, Geeslin told the Staff Senate, “This is very special and I treasure it. My service here at NDSU is so rewarding, and Staff Senate has been a huge part of that.”
