Three BYU-Idaho employees honored by university

 

 

            Three BYU-Idaho employees were honored this week with Exemplary Employee Awards for their contributions to the university and exemplifying the guiding principle of "Every person at BYU-Idaho is a teacher."      

            Egin native Michael Rydalch has worked at BYU-Idaho for the past 12 years. Coming as a computer technician and network service administrator, he has since worked as a network analyst and is currently the network manager at BYU-Idaho. He is responsible for the network design and maintaining the day-to-day communication infrastructure on campus.

            Rydalch likes the challenge of trying to keep pace with increased technology and the changes being made at BYU-Idaho.

            "It’s been a wonderful experience. There’s been lots of opportunities for growth as a person and I’ve really enjoyed my associations with the students on campus. I feel very fortunate to rub shoulders with them and feel of their energy and excitement," he says.

            Deanna Myers of Hibbard has worked as the Manwaring Center information desk supervisor for the past 12 years. Managing a myriad of different responsibilities that require her to know almost everything about BYU-Idaho and its activities, she enjoys helping students and others find what they need.

            "It’s been a choice experience to work here and have so many neat friends. The people I work with are wonderful and the students are fantastic," she says.       

            Rexburg resident Sherrie Bonner has been working at BYU-Idaho for 18 years. She began working as the physical education secretary in the summer of 1985 and worked in that capacity for 10 years. Following that position, she worked for the Division of Health Education and then for the College of Education. She was asked to transfer to the College of Business and Communication in January 2001 as the dean’s secretary.

            Bonner says she has enjoyed working at BYU-Idaho because of the quality of her co-workers.  “I feel I have had the best bosses a person could ever hope to have – all Christlike men and women,” she says.
