Derek Landers is an Electrician II in the Technology Services & Facilities department on the CSN Charleston campus. His positive attitude and composure under pressure are exemplary and he manages change with ease.
Derek maintains multiple certifications to perform his duties at CSN and continuously pursues opportunities to expand his professional knowledge base. “He has been with CSN less than five years and in that time, he has earned an associate’s degree directly related to his position at the college,” wrote Mary Calabray in the nomination. “He is currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree and has also completed two national engineering certifications in the process.”
Derek’s passion for the CSN Students First philosophy is demonstrated by his commitment to the safety of CSN students, faculty and staff. His professionalism is second to none and his co-workers note his dedication to his role. “He makes himself available outside of normal business hours when needed to ensure that projects are completed in a timely matter with minimal disruption to the campus community.”
Congratulations Derek!

The Classified Employee of the Month will receive $200, a certificate, a designated parking spot and be recognized on a plaque at all three campuses.
The purpose of this award is to recognize exceptional classified employees who stand out among the many employees that consistently perform at a high level.
Ranking and selection by the council members is “blind.” The employee name and work area on the nomination form will be hidden from the council, thus we are asking for the nominator’s cooperation in not mentioning names and work areas in the narrative, when possible. Nominees who are not selected as the CEOM, will be considered for two additional months. As the recipient of the nomination forms, Connie Jo does not participate in the rating of nominees.
