Staff Achievement Award for Personal Growth

Colleen Godley鈥檚 former co-workers at the William H. Bowen School of Law recognize her as a staff member who used every opportunity available to create a better future for herself and her family. After joining 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock in 2011 as an administrative assistant for the Higher Education Institute at Bowen Law School, Godley began working toward a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in business information systems and a certificate in data analytics. Godley gained a promotion to career service program coordinator in 2016 and completed her undergraduate degree in 2018. 鈥淎nd as if steadily assuming more responsibility at the law school while raising a family provided insufficient challenge, she also spent the last decade completing her education,鈥� said Nancy Bellhouse May, research professor at Bowen. 鈥淯sing a steady course-by-course approach, she propelled herself through 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock鈥檚 undergraduate program, gained admission to the graduate school, and prepared herself for a new career.鈥� Godley鈥檚 hard work and determination led her to another promotion as an ERP business analyst and developer in Information Technology Services that she began in February. She is also set to graduate with a Master of Science degree in business information systems in May. 鈥淚 know that aiming non-traditional students toward success is part of 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock鈥檚 core mission,鈥� May said. 鈥淎nd I would not be surprised to learn that every department has a success story of its own, but I have heard of no other staff member who so quickly recognized the opportunity that 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock offered, mapped a step-by-step path to success, and eventually created a resume that made her a top candidate and eventual hire for an important professional job on main campus.鈥� Outside of work, Godley is also an active volunteer at Our Savior Lutheran Church in Cabot, where she serves as a Sunday School teacher and as the advertising and social media manager.
