CAL STAR Award Staff Recognition

Diana Nieto-Godinez, Dean's Office, is our 2022-23 CAL Star!

"In a world where there is so much negativity, Diana is just such a ray of sunshine, spreading kindness to everyone. She is someone that I, and many others, can rely on to answer questions and help with tasks, big or small. She is always willing to step in and help out, covering what she can, without complaint. I don't believe I have ever seen Diana without a smile on her face. I can't think of a better person to receive the CAL Star Award."

– Lisa Ryden, Philosophy
