Darren, Has done a PHENOMENAL job in installing shelves for our trophies on the front wall of our offices at O'Brien Stadium! It looks fantastic and your hard work is truly appreciated! GO PANTHERS!

Tony has worked hard and done a fabulous job with wiring in our Team Room in O'Brien Stadium! His hard work is noticed by our staff as well as our student-athletes! Thank you so much Tony, it is truly appreciated! GO PANTHERS!

In order to make our first day of school photos happen, Brittany organized getting the admission staff out there to assist and she even did a shift herself. Without their help, it wouldn't have been as nice of an experience for the students and it was a great service of them all to volunteer their time especially on a VERY hot day!

On Monday we took first day of school photos and Nathan was out there in the heat all day calling students over to get their photos taken. Having his positive energy there (especially during an excessive heat watch!) really made it a fun event for our campus. 

Would like to Thank Bill and his entire team!  During this horrible heat wave (of course it had to hit the first week of classes), Bill's team was very quick to respond to our cries for help with hot classrooms and faculty offices!  Great Job!

Darren is a tireless worker who is always going "the extra mile" to help us over in athletics. We preach "see something say something" and "sweep the corners" to our girls (Women's Soccer) often, and he exemplifies this every day he comes to work. Darren took a work order to come hang up some fixtures in our locker room a few weeks back. In doing so, he noticed that it is incredibly hot and uncomfortable for the girls, and took it upon himself to spend his own time and money purchasing industrial fans. He then donated them to our team, and they have been so very appreciated! Thank you Darren!!

Lynn did an outstanding job helping a student who was having a panic attack after convocation! Just wanted to say thanks for all that she does and we are fortunate to have Lynn on our staff here at EIU! 

Crystal Brown did another OUTSTANDING JOB coordinating and overseeing our annual Jumpstart Welcome Weekend Program. Around 900 new students volunteered their time at 20 sites across Charleston, Mattoon, and the central Illinois region! Eastern students doing great things for our community thanks to Crystal's efforts! 

Huge shout out to Anne Lewis for always being patient when I don't know what I am doing, for helping whenever I reach out, and for just being an all around amazing person. You are so appreciated!

On top of being one of the nicest and most pleasant people I know, Amy's picture also appears under the dictionary entry for "team player." She took the time out of her day and helped me so much by assisting with getting our dual credit students registered. She saved me hours of time with the process. Forever thankful to have Amy with us here in Enrollment Management! 

Sarah Jacobs prepared, assisted, and oversaw a very complex and challenging case within the Dean of Students area while also preparing for the upcoming school year! EIU is grateful to have you Sarah and thanks for all you do for EIU!
