Shout Outs

Shout out to Sarah Cowger who is doing big things in the admissions office! We are lucky to have you :)

A shout out to Angela Vietto on her first year as chair of the Department of English. She has stepped into a challenging job with grace and energy. The transition has been so much smoother for everyone in the department than I expected, and that is all to her talent for managing the work so well. Thank you, Angela!

What a awesome job you did being temporary foreman !!

# next boss      The Boys in hvac 

Thank you for always going above and beyond for our students! 

Molly is so helpful and such a great asset to our EIU Team! 

We'll miss Jennie in McAfee! She does a great job and always has a friendly hello for you when you walk into the building. The people of Coleman Hall will be lucky to have her.

I've worked in the McAfee building for around 8 years and during the course of that time, it's never been as clean and tidy as when Jennie worked as our BSW. She was always very friendly and courteous to what we needed to have done and was a pleasure to have in the building. She will be missed!

Thank you for stepping up at the last minute and helping the School of Extended Learning show the Welcome Speaker in both ballrooms for the Academic Challenge Competition.

Thank you to Beth and facilities for the fast response to requests and the great customer service and friendliness you all exhibit!

A big thank you to Heidi Rawlings for all of her help!  She conducted informative training sessions for everyone who needed to know more about the budget process, and she has been so helpful whenever I have questions about the process.  You are awesome, Heidi!!!

Thank you to Jon Crask for being a jovial, smart, and ultra-efficient colleague in Panther Print and Copy Center. I thank my lucky stars that I can count on Jon for always doing a beautiful job, however swamped he gets. Thank you so much.

This is a long-overdue thank you to Dustin White for being so helpful and innovative, really, in addressing website update and revamp issues for the Pine Honors College. Dustin has shown superb technical savvy and creative finesse in fixing and beautifying website content here and on other EIU web pages. Thank you for being magnificent and gracious.

Shout out to Renee for her dedication to business majors and to the School of Business.  As Internship Coordinator Renee encourages students to participate in at least one internship so that they can gain professional experience in their field.  She serves as a resource for students interested in finding an internship and maintains a listserv with job postings and helpful tips for interns and those seeking an internship.

Shout out to Lisa Canivez for being an awesome academic advisor!  Students know that she cares and they trust that she will always provide advice with their best interests in mind.  Lisa works to help students get on track and stay on track through graduation.  EIU and the School of Business are lucky to have her on their team.

Thank you, Beth, for introducing me to Jackie Spinner and beginning what was a wonderful presentation to our Special Education teacher candidates on Friday, April 5. It was a wonderful presentation that they're still talking about this week in their classes. 

A big thank you and appreciation to Chris Cougill for his continually going above and beyond to connect EIU people to Library resources. When I need something, Chris makes it happen yesterday. Thank you!

Big thanks to Amanda for helping me work through a complicated retirement variable. Amanda took time out of her day to make sure this issue was sorted out and was totally committed to helping me through it. Her service oriented attitude is really inspiring and is the kind of value that makes EIU a great place to work!

I want to forward the recent Shout Out that I received to Angie Rhoads, who actually did the work - quickly, well, and cheerfully - as always!  Thank you, Angie! 

Dr. Shelton is busy with a million tasks as Dean of College of Liberal Arts & Sciences. However, I contacted her with a request for MSED Curriculum & Instruction program. It was an intense request that I knew going in would take up a lot of her time (or one of her assistant's time). She went above and beyond to assist and did so in a timely manner. Super helpful and much appreciated!

I would like to give a HUGE shoutout to Mac White for all of his hard work choosing programming for WEIU TV!  He works so hard at keeping the best programming for our viewers!  Thanks Mac!!

The recent collaboration among the Concert Band, Eastern Symphonic Band, and Booth Library produced a really unique and enjoyable concert. The crowd loved every bit of the performance! Bravo, Dr. Druffel and the rest of the musicians!

Andy and the rest of the Booth Library team have done a fantastic job with the On the Shoulders of Giants: The Moon and Beyond exhibit. They have showcased fascinating speakers, incorporated other departments at EIU through wonderful programming partnerships, and have creatively educated the public about all things NASA. They reached for the Moon and are soaring toward the stars. Way to go, Booth family!

Kyle, thanks for your help with the AASP grant! Glad to have you on our team.

Shout out to Valerie for all you do for EIU!  I'm so glad you're here!

Josh is a coworker is willing to go above and beyond to help out not only his workers but anyone on campus. He is super knowledgeable and we all can learn a lot from him. Thanks Josh and keep up the great work!

Emily Won ROCKED OUT several flyers, mailers and other media for our 2019 FebFest Biology Open House and Science Festival Showcase. She even created a FebFest logo for the program!!! We are so glad to have you in BIO this year!
