Shout Outs

Matt,

Thank you for all of your help today! Thank you for going above and beyond to get things done!

-Shannon from the Tarble

Thanks for all of your work with the Department of Economics last year! You were great to work with.

Thank you for running random but specific reports for me & for being so quick and efficient! I appreciate you!

Thank you for taking care of events & planning while I am away, helping me catch things up, and reminding me to "GET OUT OF HERE" when I try to stay late to "just get one more thing done" for the hundredth time. Thank you for looking out for me, thank you for supporting me, thank you for being awesome!

During the July 29th storm, Miss Vicki was playing camera woman as a couple of her crew members went out in the nasty weather to retrieve the American flag that was blown down. She captured a picture that shows the true meaning of TEAMWORK! Thank you, Miss Vicki, that picture touched my heart! :)

Shout out to Leon Mire for all of his work as the EIU Communication Coordinator. The emails, texts, and messages he carefully crafts to prospective students helps everyone on campus in a big way. He always listens carefully and follows through. Thank you, Leon!

A big thank you to Janet for all she does with CHHS. She always goes above and beyond with social media and the curriculum committee. We very much appreciate you, Janet!

We can't thank Michelle enough for all that she does for CHHS and Civil Service Council. She is so dedicated and helps everyone in the office in extraordinary ways. Thanks, Michelle! 

It was brought to my attention during the storm on June 29th, our American flag, that flies in our South Quad, was blown down during the storm. Frank was 1 of the BSWs that went out in the nasty weather to retrieve "Old Glory" & bring it inside where it was safe to dry & be re-hung before the July 4th holiday. I do believe this deserves a HUGE shout out! Good job Frank & thank you for your service! :)

It was brought to my attention during the storm on June 29th, our American flag, that flies in our South Quad, was blown down during the storm. Carrie was 1 of the BSWs that went out in the nasty weather to retrieve "Old Glory" & bring it inside where it was safe to dry & be re-hung before the July 4th holiday. I do believe this deserves a HUGE shout out! Good job Carrie & thank you for your service! :)

Austin is AMAZING when it comes to keeping our office computers up to date and fixing issues when needed.  Thank you for all your hard work - it does not go unnoticed. We appreciate you!  

Carrie is a ROCKSTAR!  Thank you for keeping Testing & Evaluation running so smoothly. Greatly appreciate all your hard work and organization. THANK YOU 

Lana is always willing to go above and beyond to help and a joy to work with. The Graduate School is very lucky to have her.

Diane is a very thorough and detail oriented co-worker. She makes sure "the trains run on time" at the library and always communicates clearly and effectively. She throws a great party too! Thank you for all you do for Booth and for EIU Diane!

Thank you, Wendy, for all of your support, patience, and guidance with me this summer as I learned my role as one of the graduate assistants in the office. I recognize your experience, dedication, organization, and commitment to EIU and the success of The Department of Counseling and Higher Education.

Thank you, Mike, for your dedication to keeping Buzzard Hall clean. I experienced a real and transparent person with a hard work ethic when I met you a few weeks back.

Thank you, Darrin, for being friendly and responsible. I can tell from our short time together that you are a hard worker with a kind heart.

Thank you, Cathy, for making sure my graduate paperwork was correct and accurate. You are reliable and have an eye for details.

To preface this, Aaron hates all things shmaltzy so this will be a very understated shout out.

Aaron's okay, I guess. I don't hate coming into work. So he must not be all bad. He's not the worst boss I've ever had. He shows me how to do things sometimes.

Kristina was a Rockstar helping me get ready for a conference that she had no part in! When I was having trouble with my Evolis Card Printer, she offered to help print out name tags for me. It was a huge weight off my back, and all the conference attendees were very happy with their name tags! I cannot thank her enough!

Thanks you for all of your hard work making the south quad look nice. You have done such a great job! The flower bed north of Lumpkin is my favorite!

Sending enormous thanks to Kevin Di Bella for going above and beyond his usual responsibilities to help ensure that our non-Doudna systems were in working order and functioning for events. Kevin, your expertise and generosity are so appreciated!

Travis was INSTRUMENTAL in getting MTIEP up and running this summer. With a very fast deadline, he managed to get all the summer camp kiddos their E numbers and registered in the system so they could take their class. I was very impressed at how quickly and efficiently he worked to get everything together!

Wendy has been a fount of knowledge for me ever since I started. She has been so helpful and answered all my questions. For the questions she didn't have an answer to, she asked around until she found one. She's made my job so much easier!

The Dean has been amazing in working with staff and students for the MTIEP Summer Camp. She is helping the students have a great summer experience and an amazing learning opportunity!

Joy is great at keeping a level head whatever gets thrown her way. She is a rock in the SEL office!

Jennifer is one of those people who always goes the extra mile when you ask for assistance. Always generous with her time and friendly to work with. She is quick to find the answer to your question, promptly complete whatever needs to be completed or, if she cannot help, give suggestions where to turn. Jennifer is an invaluable asset to the EIU campus!

HUGE shout out to Marsha for helping us set up a process for creating Financial Aid Checklists for our incoming students for Orientation this summer. This is a big step in supporting our students (not to mention saving us a lot of manual work)! We are so appreciative of your hard work and willingness to make our ideas and requests real! Thank you thank you thank you! 

Thank you, James, for coming over to PPCC and taking your time to trouble shoot and fix the tech problems we had with our printers and the challenges we were having with our student connections to the server.  

Deborah always delivers our library books with a great smile and an energy that is contagious. She helped me discover today the online options for checking out books. She continued to help me navigate new digital resources that the library provides from the App Libby. I appreciated the one on one attention she provided me today. Thanks for all that you do!
