Staff Spotlight

               This is a new segment we are starting that will spotlight a different staff member each week. This will be very similar to the Writing Center’s COW (consultant of the week) which is presented at the staff meeting each Monday night, except instead of being selected by popular votes for something awesome you do this segment will focus on just how awesome you are all the time.

                Now for the moment you are probably waiting for me to get to…this week’s staff spotlight goes to Courtney Worthington! Courtney is a junior here at Coe College. But here is something you may not know about her: she has been here for only two years, last year not being one of them. She transferred closer to home last year before realizing that there really is “no place like Coe”. She is majoring in biology and in her mind has always been destined to study the sciences. “[She] always knew that [she] loved science and learning about the human body” and when she had the awesome opportunity to shadow in a Pathology lab in high school she just “knew [she] was going to be a lab kid”.

     Now for some fun facts about Courtney:

1. She seems to not get very much sleep which is not so uncommon for the average college student, but I still feel sorry for when she tells me she just got six hours of sleep in the past three days. 
2.  Her fondest memories in the Writing Center are the late nights spent studying in the Writing Center. Courtney, unlike me, can pull all-niters in the Writing Center and loves them so because she is never there alone. For all of you night owls out there…try getting some sleep over the holidays!
3. She is extremely proud of her brand new yellow pants. I have seen them myself and they are pretty awesome! So if you are on campus sometime soon and see some in the writing center wearing yellow pants, there is a good possibility you have just seen Courtney Worthington. If you do see her, make sure and congratulate her on her staff spotlight this week!
