Sherriann
Ng, manager of human resources for the College of Science and
Engineering, is a campus mainstay. She arrived on campus "a day after
the cops and horses left in 1969" and, except for a few years off
when her son was born, she has worked on campus ever since.
Ng oversees the implementation of all faculty and staff hiring and retention
in the College. She also monitors personnel activity to make sure that
the College is in compliance with SFSU policies and state and federal
laws, and she does long- and short-term budget planning.
"Sherri's knowledge and accuracy on policy issues and procedures
is greatly appreciated by the many people who come to her every day for
information," Dean Sheldon Axler said. "[She] is a trusted advisor
to me on many issues; I truly value her wisdom and outstanding judgment."
Axler also noted that her planning helped the College ride out the recent
budget problems "with less pain than we had expected."
Ng began her SFSU career as a secretary in the Chemistry Department. She
then moved over to the Office of School Relations. After her son Kelly
was born she took some time off and wasn't planning to return until former
Science Dean Jim Kelly called and offered her a job as his assistant.
She decided to come back to campus.
It's a decision she doesn't regret.
"I enjoy the people I work with," she said. "I enjoy the
complexity of the responsibilities I have."
Ng lives in San Mateo with her husband Frank and son Kelly. She claims
golf as a passion -- one shared by the rest of her family. They often
plan family vacations around golfing including trips to South Carolina,
Oregon and Hawaii.
Please join
us in congratulating Sherriann and
thank him for making such a difference.
As the
STAR of the Month, Ng will enjoy four free lunches on campus, a free parking
pass or equivalent in one month's public transportation costs, and more.
