Deb Renshaw, senior academic advisor for the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, has been honored with the Chancellor's Employee of the Year award. The award is presented every fall to ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� staff members, recognizing exceptional job performance and distinguished contributions to the campus community.

"Knowing that my colleagues took the time to nominate me and provide all the supporting information required for this award is amazing," said Renshaw, who joined the CEAS academic advising team in 2012. "Receiving this award is a total honor; feeling the wonderful accolades from my colleagues is the best."

While Renshaw advises chemical and biological engineering, and aerospace engineering undergraduate students, Renshaw's educational and professional background is diverse.

After earning a doctorate, Renshaw taught technical writing and computer applications at Western Michigan and Grambling State Universities. Subsequently, Renshaw returned to education as a student to earn a second master’s degree in counseling psychology and established a private psychotherapy and mediation practice in Washington state. Renshaw then transitioned to the role of senior staff counselor at the University of Vermont, assisting both undergraduate and graduate students. While at UVM, Renshaw graduated from the Vermont State Fire Academy and joined the Essex Junction Fire Department as a firefighter/first responder. Renshaw’s journey also led to being communication director for a defense subcontractor working with the Navy and later graduation from the Georgia Police Academy.

"I’m ready to be here at ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� for another decade or so," Renshaw said. "Thank you all from the bottom of my heart."
