Turel is not stranger to Council level work. Having served as Fist prior, he came into the role of Headmaster knowing the work and level of involvement required of the position. He took to it as he always does, with passion for championing the members and ensuring that we follow through on our commitments. He has overseen a variety of projects as well as outlined future work in a way that clearly defines what is expected of the outcomes. Beyond this, his dissenting voice in discussions is a welcome and dare I say required one to keep us honest in our deliberations and decision making. Because he is always championing the member, he won't hesitate to speak up or call out a decision that threatens to take us down a path we should avoid. As the steward of what could be easily called our knowledge center and guidelines, this is both a pivotal and critical position to take.
During the past 9 months of his service as Headmaster, Turel has championed a variety of projects that have streamlined the Shadow Academy. These projects include work that as seen recent fruition, such as the rework of several of our degrees including solving the bottleneck that was Savant degrees by making higher tier degrees count towards lower tier requirements. What I find personally noteworthy was Turel's efforts prior to the launch of the most recent Great Jedi War, Animus. He provided full video tutorials on a variety of our systems that would be critical to participation in the club-wide event. These videos were clear, concise, and provided much needed guidance that couldn't be confused as a member could see the exact interfaces and steps involved in real time. Finally, he has taken to streamlining our varying courses by removing complexity, such as exam questions, to make courses that aren't a chore, but a fun knowledge check that is easily completed.
For all this work, making the Academy more accessible and also of more value and use, I am happy to recommend Turel for a Ruby Scepter in recognition. Thank you, T. You work hard and always care. It's great to reward that.
