The person nominating Bates stated: “Alex has been simply phenomenal for the past few years, helping navigate various university staff searches and reviews. Furthermore, she steps in to help with faculty/instructional academic staff searches too. She always has a smile on her face and is happy to help and respond.

“She has stepped in to help while we search for a new academic department associate in the School of Art and Design. She has also helped on other countless searches in SOAD.”
