Always being there when we need you and even before we do, Thanks!

HUGE shoutout and many many thanks to Gretchen for all of the work she does every day and her very welcoming, calming, and caring personality. I cannot imagine how backlogged the OAA would be at this point without her help throughout the summer and especially in August. Thank you so much Gretchen, we are so lucky to have you in our department.

Thank you - and tremendous appreciation - for Kyle Cody! You are an exemplar of service and mission, and everything that you do to make the Center for Student Innovation the hub for digital discovery, pedagogy, and scholarship is invaluable. Thank you, Kyle, for everything that you do. A true unsung hero of Booth Library and EIU.

Brittany you are doing an amazing job!! keep it up. I love working with you.

I know his days here @ EIU are nearing their end, I just wanted to give a final shout out & "atta boy" to the mechanic who has always cared & gave it his all. Kevin Hardwick, you will be missed & you will be a hard one to replace! Not everyone that works here BLEEDS BLUE, but you did. We grew up on this campus, this was our second home. I THANK YOU for ALWAYS taking the time to maintain & care for our vehicles. I wish you the best of luck! :)

Cindi is an invaluable resource to the Teaching, Learning, and Foundations Department. Her institutional knowledge and ability to think logically through problems has helped everyone from students to the Chair have a smooth opening to the fall 2024 semester.

Thank you for going above and beyond to help me complete a task. Catrina is always willing to help out her colleagues. Financial aid is lucky to have her!

During the week prior to the start of the semester, Kari identified a possible gap in service outside of our area for a population of students and elevated the concern to me. We were able to work with the relevant office(s) to ensure the students would receive the help they needed. Kari's focus on treating students holistically revealed a possible problem, and she took the proper steps to remove that potential barrier. It was a case of being willing to think beyond her duties without exceeding the scope of her role, and it led to positive changes that will make the EIU experience better for the affected students.

Thank you for stepping up and helping with different projects that come your way with little notice!

We're so fortunate to have Dr. Onuora as our new Department Chair in Teaching, Learning, and Foundations--she is already reenergizing and refocusing our efforts as a faculty. Thanks for coming to EIU, Dr. Onuora!

Since joining EIU, Alyssa has done an amazing job developing creative and engaging content on all of EIU's social media platforms. Her trendy, thoughtful, and often hilarious content has grown EIU's following on social media and has advanced EIU's brand recognition with crucial audiences. I also appreciate her making time to be at campus events during weekend hours, such as the recent EIU Squared event. She is an outstanding team member in the Enollment Management division.

Thank you for helping us in the Financial Aid Office! We appreciate you!

Amanda has been so helpful with the change from monthly pay to bi-weekly for so many of us. I appreciate her kindness and patience while everyone is navigating this issue. Thank you Amanda!

Thank you, Jerrod for always being kind and prompt. Your professionalism is noticed and appreciated!

Thank you, Dustin, for all your work updating the Institutional Research website! It looks great!

People would be shocked to see what Monique handles on a weekly basis. She is constantly meeting with students in crisis and does it with such care and empathy. EIU is so lucky to have her on staff!

Kristin and her team are doing a wonderful job with the menu options and tasty creations in the South Quad! There are so many options that it is difficult to decide what to eat! If you aren't purchasing Dining Dollars and heading to the South Quad for a meal, you are missing out. Thanks for keeping the menus and meals innovative and delicious, Kristin!
