Darren Donaldson; carpenter shop, JP Taylor; electric shop, and Chad Elliott; IT, worked together to get the Academic Advising video monitor remounted and connected to a new sound bar.  It was a GREAT team effort, as it was not as easy as it should have been, an older display monitor with no working remote, made the installation more difficult than normal.

Thanks so much for your "well-check" on my computer and settings (and me).  You are patient and knowledgeable and I appreciate both. I was a little lost in the sauce, but now I'm good to go!

He helped me with a solution at the TBR... What a great guy.

Thank you so much for caring about our students.  You went above and beyond to help a student.  You stayed past your shift and made sure a solution was found. It is these things that make a difference, but often do not get recognized. Proud to call you, our teammate.

Thank you, Lindsay, for all your help while I have been out on Maternity leave. Lindasy continued to check notes and provide some supervision to non-licensed staff, helped with preparation for the academic year, ran reports, and several other tasks while I was out. We could not do this without you! 

Corey has been a HUGE asset to the counseling clinic this past year. Already in this academic year, she has been working hard on our internship program and creating a positive learning environment for interns. Corey has also taken the intuitive in creating several presentations and programs with the counseling clinic. Her work does not go unnoticed. 

The warmest shout-out goes out to Wendy Lane, the office manager of Counseling and Higher Education. Wendy, I can say, without exaggeration, that you are the oil that keeps the engine of CHE running. I am enormously grateful to you for what you do EVERYDAY to make my work not only easier but to make it happen. I only wish that this appreciation could have been translated into something more tangible for you, that really shows our recognition of your value.
