Shout Outs

Welcome to the Eastern Illinois University Shout Out Page. The Staff Senate has established this page to foster the morale of EIU employees and cultivate a positive campus atmosphere. Shout Outs serve as public expressions of gratitude and recognition, allowing us to acknowledge the exceptional efforts of individuals, departments, and others on a daily basis.

We encourage you to utilize the Shout Out submission form to appreciate and commend your colleagues. To create a Shout Out, simply click on the 'Make a Shout Out' tab and log in. Once your Shout Out is submitted, a moderator will review it and proudly display your submission on the Shout Out page.

The Staff Senate at Eastern Illinois University is currently rewarding eligible employees who receive a Shout Out with one $10 EIU Food Court gift card per fiscal year (effective July 1, 2024).

Eligible EIU employees who received a $10 EIU Food Court gift card with a Shout Out must redeem those cards by the expiration date of May 31, 2025. Enjoy up to $10 off your next one-time purchase at the University Food Court; card must be surrendered during time of purchase.

This page is dedicated to the memory of UPD Officer Harold Harris.
