Rachelle Esperance Named KU Student Affairs February 2025 Employee of the Month

Congratulations to the February Student Affairs Employee of the Month: Rachelle Esperance!
Rachelle is a cook in the Kansas Union. In her role, Rachelle cooks for, greets, and serves guests at The Market. She is credited with creating a positive space for members of the KU community.
“Rachelle has been an essential part of the Union for thirteen years. Her warmth and inspiring presence is felt through her hard work and committed service. She knows her guests by name and often inquires about their family, health, and any stressors in their lives as they navigate being on their own," shared Rachelle’s nominator, Katie See, Manager of The Market. "Even in the small amount of time she gets with students, she provides empathy, support, and advice—along with delicious food, of course. Rachelle’s presence improves the university, the Union, and The Market. I am enormously grateful for every minute of the past thirteen years that I have worked with her.”
Rachelle, KU Student Affairs recognizes and celebrates your efforts, commitment, and valuable impact on the KU community. Thank you for all you do to make learning possible!
