Katherine Guerrero is an incredible asset to academic HR in the Materials Science and Engineering Department. Since joining UCI, she has continually provided me and my research group with timely, complete, and helpful assistance with everything from navigating an incredibly tricky visa issue for a postdoc to sleuthing out massive payroll issues. Recently, she picked up the phone late in the day to help my student solve a payroll issue, working after-hours to track down answers. Katherine is amazing, and I’m grateful that she is a member of the SSoE team!
Michael Weiss
Michael pulled out all of the stops to handle a VERY urgent PO for us. MSE honestly can’t thank him enough for getting this done with the amount of speed and urgency in which it was handled! We don’t usually ask for rushed items and he really went above and beyond in this. THANK YOU!!
Lorrie Aguirre
I’d like to give a round of applause and HUGE thank you to Lorrie Aguirre. Shortly after Lorrie took the reins the world turned upside down. Lorrie has led the School of Engineering with loyalty and grace during a significantly turbulent time. Lorrie is a champion for staff and leads with competence and compassion. Lorrie is in a league of her own and I’m thankful for her leadership.
