I just want to take a moment to recognize Justin for his unwavering dedication to student success at EIU. From the very first contact with prospective students to celebrating their graduation, he consistently juggles the demands and data of what feels like a million different constituents. Despite the challenges, Justin always stays focused on what truly matters—doing what's best for the students.
