“Jane Roloff was the first person to volunteer and was willing to do whatever was needed during the transition time,” Smith said. At the time, Roloff was the program assistant for the nursing graduate program. Now, she’s doing that along with a variety of new duties for the dean. “We are privileged to have her in the College of Nursing,” Smith said. “Her ‘can do’ positive attitude and ‘working smart’ is keeping our organization moving.”

Roloff has consistently exceeded expectations in every aspect of her job, Smith said. “Her customer relations skills are exemplary,” she said. “She is attentive to details and conscientious with every aspect of her responsibilities. She has outstanding communication skills and work ethic. Her assertiveness and willingness to do ‘whatever it takes’ to get the job done has helped to avoid a crisis in the College of Nursing.”
