We encourage you to utilize the Shout Out submission form to appreciate and commend your colleagues. To create a Shout Out, simply click on the 'Make a Shout Out' tab and log in. Once your Shout Out is submitted, a moderator will review it and proudly display your submission on the Shout Out page.

Conor Baltz got a shoutout! Apr 22, 2022
The Doudna staff is one of the most hardworking and committed units on campus. They put in long hours and are always working their butts off. Even so, they are always willing to help and are happy to do so. Conor's assistance, in many circumstances, has contributed to helping my students have a positive learning experience and it's so nice to have someone like him as a part of the EIU community.
