Tannise Collymore: Employee of the Year

September 1

Life Pacific University is honored to award this year’s Employee of the Year Award to Tannise Collymore, Executive Assistant to the Provost. Tannise has been a light on the San Dimas campus of LPU. Her commitment to the institution, the student body, her role in the Academics Office, and ultimately to the Lord has been admirable throughout her years of service at Life Pacific.

Tannise has been described by her fellow employees as beloved, hard-working, obedient, kind, and humble. She hasn’t just been an incredible employee, but she has been involved in mentoring students, co-leading a mission trip to Colombia, and more. The community of Life Pacific University is better because of Tannise’s role.

Tannise shares her heart after receiving this award when she says, “I am overwhelmed by the kindness and sweetness of God poured out through the recognition of the faculty and staff with the Employee of the Year Award. Anything good seen in me is because of Jesus”.

Congratulations to Tannise!
