OGLESBY – Paula Hallock of Tonica is the 2022 winner of Illinois Valley Community College’s Connie Skerston Memorial Award for Support Staff Distinguished Service. Hallock, Human Resources administrative assistant, was nominated by Ottawa Center counselor Valery Calvetti.
“Like Connie – Paula has demonstrated service excellence to our college community,” Calvetti said. “She has participated quietly and professionally on teams for the benefit of us all.”
Hallock has worked at IVCC since 1998. The award is named in memory of former assistant director of admissions and records Connie Skerston who passed away in 2015.
Hallock and the other 2022 support staff nominees: Dawn Lockwood and Mary Smith of CETLA; Gracelyn Quesse of Student Services; Donna Swiskoski of the Foundation office; and Manessa Trench of the Copy Center will be honored Friday night at IVCC’s employee recognition reception at Grand Bear Resort in Utica – an event Hallock has helped coordinate with colleagues since 2000.
