Eli Won ASU’s Student Employee of the Year!!!

Don’t let that face fool you (he’s just not a fan of pictures) Eli was pretty excited to find out won Student Employee of the Year @ASU!!! 🏆🎊🎉

He works in the Technology, Strategy and Operations department for the W.P. Carey School of Business. There are over 6k student workers at ASU. This is quite an honor!!

He did NOT think he was going to win and was very underdressed.🖍️ 🤦‍♀️😆🙃

This made me laugh! He knew about this dinner. For whatever reason he didn’t feel like dressing up and didn’t think he’d win so he just went how he went to school that day. He’s also wearing his Detachments giant necklace (there’s a whole story about that too). That really set off the look (this kid! Ha!). Everyone was in suits and nice dresses. Not my son! LOL!

And did I mention his Commander was watching the live stream!?!!

Here’s a little clip of him accepting the award. He says to the presenter, “I didn’t think I’d win.” Too funny!

We are so incredibly proud of you son! You continue to blaze the way wherever you are. Your intellect, work ethic, leadership, quick wit, and charm are qualities that are admirable and will bring you continued success in your life. We love you so much!!! Congratulations!!!💙
