September STAR Award Recipient
Stephanie Briles
Administrative & Operations Analyst, Student Health & Counseling Services
The STAR Award honors staff and faculty whose exceptional contributions exemplify our division’s mission to transform lives, one student at a time, whether through direct student engagement or vital behind-the-scenes support.
Stephanie is being recognized for her outstanding dedication, adaptability, and commitment to supporting students and colleagues through her nearly 16 years of service with Student Health and Counseling Services (SHCS). She plays an essential role behind the scenes, ensuring staff and providers have the resources and support they need to deliver quality care to students. During staffing transitions, Stephanie has stepped up to take on additional responsibilities, coordinating contracts, purchasing, facilities needs, employee onboarding, and accreditation-related processes to help maintain smooth departmental operations. Beyond her administrative contributions, Stephanie is a trusted mentor who generously shares her knowledge, supports colleagues as they navigate new responsibilities, and contributes to a welcoming and collaborative work environment. Her colleagues recognize her for her kindness, reliability, and willingness to help wherever needed, making her an invaluable member of SHCS and the Student Affairs community.
