A HUGE Shout Out to Melissa for always going above and beyond. You have worked very hard this summer in getting the new summer school calculation tables/payments up and going, making it easier on the Assistants to the Dean. You also worked very hard in getting the new Faculty Load and Compensation program going. Your inbox is full of contracts to write, budget, travel requests and you still find the time to complete other numerous tasks and answer our questions at any time. We all thank you and appreciate all the hard work and efforts that you put forth.

You are an absolute gem, Bonita—thank you for everything!

RJ is extremely helpful whenever called upon for support. His attitude is so good that he helps you out with an issue and then makes you feel like you helped him. Great to work with I wish everybody was like that!

Jim and his crew worked so hard on Klehm Hall 1309 remodel. It looks so great in there now, and I could not believe how efficient they were. Thank you all!
