Employee of the Month

Ben Apolinar

A few words from their nominator

Every single time we’re in a pinch, this team member is there to save the day. Whether it’s realizing last-minute that we need the monitors working for a presentation or finding a quick solution to a technical issue, they always have our backs. They’re great at reading the room, adapting to unexpected challenges, and getting support from their team when needed. Beyond their technical skills, they’re a natural talent when it comes to hosting—their awesome music taste and energy make every event better. They’re also an outstanding teammate on every committee I’ve worked with them on. COM is lucky to have this person on the EdTech team!
