The honor reflects the commitment and pride that Tri-C employees bring to their jobs, said Lillian Welch, the College’s vice president of human resources. Those strengths helped the College navigate the coronavirus crisis.
“Our employees met the moment and set new standards of service and excellence during a time of great uncertainty,” Welch said. “Their selfless work for the benefit of others showed what it means to be part of the Tri-C family.”
