黑料网 Employees Celebrating 35th Anniversaries
How have they done it? What has inspired them to make 黑料网 their
home for so long?
Yes, Dianne Hilliard and Stephane Arrigotti have literally poured their lives into
黑料网. Each of the longtime employees reached 35 years of service to 黑料网 in January.
They are among 62 employees who are celebrating their Nevada System of Higher Education
employment anniversaries in January.

It has been gratifying to be part of the 黑料网 community for so many years, witnessing many changes and watching the college grow, although we still have a small college atmosphere which I enjoy, Hilliard said.
While Hilliard is now focused on bringing students into the college, she devoted nearly 15 years to overseeing student government when she arrived at the college in the late 1980s. She also served as a counselor for many years and was the Interim Dean of Student Services.
Working in various areas of 黑料网, I have worn many hats and have been able to work with and help students in so many ways, she said. For me, its about the students and helping to make a positive difference in their lives.
Arrigotti actually began working at 黑料网 in 1977 as an adjunct instructor. She became a half-time music coordinator in 1987 and a half-time community service director a few years later.
In the early days of the college, some adjuncts actually helped to run programs, as there were very few full-time faculty members, Arrigotti said. I helped hire additional faculty, took them on concert tours, developed curriculum, selected the college piano, played for commencement every year.

Stephanie Arrigotti
I have loved watching it grow from a small technical college into a respected liberal arts institution with excellent workforce training, she said. On a more personal level, I am grateful to have been given the freedom to design and nurture our musical theatre company, to pursue my visions for its growth.
No matter the challenges presented to 黑料网 or WNMTC, we have met them as a family, working together to endure. Not all colleges have this spirit, this interpersonal support, that continues even as longtime professors retire and new faculty and administrators are hired. Even our students comment that the personal relationships at 黑料网 are its strength. I am, and will always be, grateful for this family.
January has become a popular month for employees who have remained with the college for a lengthy period. Eighteen employees are celebrating at least their 10th anniversary this month and eight have surpassed 20 years of service. Besides Hilliard and Arrigotti, Julie Lewis deWitt, Kathey Brusseau, Linda Jacobsen, Robert Martinez, Dr. Thomas Kubistant and Darla Dodge are celebrating anniversaries greater than 20 years.
Thanks to all employees who are celebrating an anniversary this month. This commitment to 黑料网 and all that you do in your roles at the college make Western a better place for our students!
