Thank you for all you do and for certifying teacher licensure candidates for graduation accurately and with haste so that they could start their mid-semester jobs as fully licensed teachers.

I want to give a mega shout out to Brad Bennington and staff who assisted in certifying degrees so quickly in December 2025. This work made it possible for me to get all our initial teacher licensure candidates entitled on January 2nd and made it possible for those who had acquired mid-semester jobs to be employed as fully licensed teachers.

Bethany is an invaluable member of the KSR department. She is not only the department's academic adviser, but also an informal adviser to faculty and staff. Her work often goes under the radar, but it is greatly appreciated!

Shout out to Frankie for always thinking of ways to elevate the student experience here at EIU. She has been instrumental in updating the EIYou Panther Experience course for first year students while also serving as an RSO advisor for various student orgs. In addition, she serves as one of the advisors for her sorority. Frankie definitely bleeds EIU Blue!

Diane's enthusiasm and collaborative nature have been instrumental in giving Graphic Design students an opportunity for exhibition design and to share their board game designs. Thank you for all you do!

Larry does an outstanding job at Booth Library. His years of dedication and service and wealth of knowledge in ILL is a tremendous asset. A HUGE THANK YOU to Larry for all he does to make EIU a better place!

I really appreciate the help Sam provided me in our search for high talent Graphic Design students. She invited myself and my team to join her class while allowing us to speak to her students regarding the position. This was so helpful, allowed students to ask questions in a safe space and just provided the best talent pool. We ended up finding what we were looking for and now have 2 new team members! We are so happy to welcome them in, see what they can do and couldn't have completed our goal without Sam's help. Thanks for always being willing to assist.

Jana is such a stellar Booth employee! She always goes above and beyond with ILL and does it with a smile! Thank you, Jana!

Dan is such a wonderful colleague! Always there to help and support.
