Emily Wang, academic support coordinator in the Office of Provost and Academic Affairs, is quick to point out that while she received the November STAR of the Month everyone in her office should be honored with the award. "Getting the STAR award was not an individual achievement. I think everyone in my department and people I work closely with are also stars because we work together as a unit," says Wang with a beaming smile. "Without the unit, I don’t think we are able to produce a successful outcome of our work." Wang is a valuable asset to the office during the annual Honors Convocation event held each spring before Commencement. Since she started working for the office two and a half years ago, Wang has helped Stephanie Schwartz, executive assistant to the provost and vice president, in planning and hosting the event. "She is very skillful in making the honorees feel comfortable, relaxed, and able to enjoy the event that is being held in their honor. Unique to Emily, she has a knack with remembering everyone’s name and the department from which they are graduating -- and I mean everyone!" says Schwartz. Wang prides herself on her attention to detail, a trait well appreciated by her supervisors, as her main duty is to closely monitor the office’s accounts and budget. She also feels that the best approach to achieving positive results is "taking things step-by-step." An SF State alumna, Wang believes that the biggest perk of her job is working in such a diverse and close-knit campus community. "I love my job. I get to work with people from different departments and colleges -- not just work with them, but actually be able to build friendships," says Wang. "People here are so friendly. They are willing to go the extra mile to help others." Wang lives with her family in San Francisco and during her free time enjoys origami, the art of paper-folding.
