The Sul Ross State University Educational Diagnostician Program announced this week that that Veronica Gallegos (El Paso) has been chosen as Site Supervisor of the Year for 2024.

Site supervisors are practicing Educational Diagnosticians that support graduate students during their practicum semester to attain the necessary clinical hours for certification.

“Ms. Veronica Gallegos has helped and guided me tremendously this semester. She trusts and has faith I can assess students. She is full of knowledge and is a natural at her job. She is also a bilingual diagnostician, so shout out to her because there are few out there, as it is more work at times. She loves serving her community and I am grateful to work by her side,” wrote her nominator.

The award is offered once per academic year. Site supervisors are nominated by their interns, after which they proceed through a competitive panel review for the award.

“Achieving such recognition is no small feat and speaks volumes about your professionalism, expertise, and contributions to El Paso ISD and to our students at Sul Ross State University,” said Dr. Lisa Thompson Sousa, program coordinator.
