Shout Outs

Welcome to the Eastern Illinois University Shout Out Page. The Staff Senate has established this page to foster the morale of EIU employees and cultivate a positive campus atmosphere. Shout Outs serve as public expressions of gratitude and recognition, allowing us to acknowledge the exceptional efforts of individuals, departments, and others on a daily basis.

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.

The Staff Senate at Eastern Illinois University is currently rewarding eligible employees who receive a Shout Out with one $10 EIU Food Court gift card per fiscal year (effective July 1, 2024).

Eligible EIU employees who received a $10 EIU Food Court gift card with a Shout Out must redeem those cards by the expiration date of May 31, 2025. Enjoy up to $10 off your next one-time purchase at the University Food Court; card must be surrendered during time of purchase.

This page is dedicated to the memory of UPD Officer Harold Harris.

Just wanting to say this Department couldn't function with out Patty. She takes care of more things than can be mentioned in this small space. She's the most even tempered, unshakeable, most knowledgeable individual that I know at EIU. She is one of the most valuable assets this place has! Thank you isn't enough - but that's all I can do right now.

Purchasing agreements sure can be a tricky thing with the university , but Connie did a great job of keeping the lines of communication open and kept us up to speed on how things were moving along and was great to work with! Glad we were able to get this finalized and up and running. Thank you Connie!

Mallorie Fonseca got a shoutout from Suzie Park! Sep 16, 2019

Thank you so very much, Mallorie, for fielding 45+ phone calls and emails from me...on an average day. You have made navigating AcademicWorks into more of a team-building exercise than a Game of Thrones scenario. You whistle while you work--sometimes literally, but always at least figuratively. Thank you for your cheerful, awesome work.

Between it being a historic building and with construction going on, the McAfee gym probably isn't the easiest place to keep clean, but Paul has been doing an excellent job. His hard work and friendly attitude have made him an excellent addition to the building! Glad to have you over here Paul!
