We cannot say enough kind words about Karla! She is always so helpful and ensures every event that involves catering is successful. Homecoming, in particular, is a huge event for Panther Catering to take care of, and with staffing circumstances being a bit challenging this year, she still was able to knock it out of the park! Karla, we just want you to know that CLAS appreciates all that you do! You are definitely one in a million! Thank you a hundred times over!!!!

Flu Shot *check
Four of us went to the "vaccination station" for our flu shots. The timing from when we left our desks to returning to the office again was..... ELEVEN MINUTES! Bravo!
Thank you and the Coles County Health Department for providing such a wonderful service to our campus community.

Robert Wells got a shoutout! Oct 12, 2023
Robert is exactly what a great employee looks like. He works hard and diligently, and is a terrific coworker. Blair Hall always looks so sparkling clean and, if you're fortunate enough to run into Robert while he strives to do all that he does in the building, he always has a kind word or a laugh to share with you. Thanks for ALL that you do, Rob!! YOU ARE APPRECIATED!
