Please join us in celebrating Mary Malley for being named this month’s Hallmark Husky! 🎉

In less than a year with the Department of Nutritional Sciences, Mary has already made such a positive impact. She’s been busy creating tools that make planning, tracking, and day-to-day work easier for everyone—from a classroom utilization calculator to a streamlined system for managing graduate assistant data.

What really stands out is how generously she shares her ideas and helps others work more efficiently. Her creativity, teamwork, and can-do attitude truly make a difference not only in the department but across CAHNR.

We’re so lucky to have you, Mary—congratulations! 👏
