Vicki Huddleston is working diligently and purposefully to get our building looking as best as is possible this summer! We appreciate her hard work and her desire for things to look nice when the students return. Our floors are looking mighty spiffy!!!

I would like to thank Merry Toberman and Sarah Frye for reminding me that the people of Eastern truly are wonderful and caring people! If you need a smile stop by payroll! 

Angie, thank you for your hard work, especially with orientation!  You are a fantastic communicator to families and great representative of EIU! 

Thank you for all your help and understanding.  I truly appreciate all that you do!(especially helping me file)  Continuing Education is lucky to have you.

Matt Boyer is once again doing a great job leading our Summer Camps and Conferences Program at EIU! There will be close to 11,000 guests this summer and a majority of them we hope to turn into future panthers!  Thank you Matt for all that you do!  

To ALL in the Economics Department, I just wanted to let you ALL know that how much I truly enjoyed working with you and your professionalism! It has been a few years but you are still with me in my way of doing my job here at EIU! Thank you to Linda G. for giving me a chance and for Ali M. for continuing with the great work environment!

HUGE thanks to our BSW Kim.  Keeping the main floor of Lantz clean and professional looking is not easy, but you do it with humor and grace!  Our carpets haven't looked this good in decades.

This place will shine on Saturday for Commencement!

A *GIANT* shout-out to Kelly Partenheimer, who somehow manages to keep us all from running over each other or into each other as we plan and host different events on campus. She is always patient with questions and changes and confusions (my confusions, not hers).

I don't know how you do it, Kelly--and I don't know what we would do without you! Thank you so much.

The administration would like to thank Chris and his team for the diligence and hard work they put in during the recent rain storm.  They identified a potential major electrical issue and corrected it with only minor inconveniences to the campus.  The alternative would have been a $500,000 repair bill.  Thank you Chris and team!! 

BIG THANK YOU to Sam Eddinger for his expertise and patience with my recent computer issue.  Re-imaged and everything is where it belongs and working again!  

BIG shout out to Kim Brookins!!! She is the best BSW on campus! Kim is such a hard worker who's very pleasant and helpful. You Rock!

What can you say about Merry?  Merry has such a depth of knowledge in her area that she is amazing.  What would we do without her?  Merry is always ready to lend a hand and help you enjoy the payroll process as she solves any issues you may have.  GREAT JOB, Merry!

Whenever you walk in the Cashier Office, you are met with a smiling face.  Rhonda is great to work with; always helping whenever asked.  Great Job!

Susan provides great customer service and is always willing to help.  She is a wonderful example of what an employee should do each and every day.  Thanks, Susan.

Thanks for being willing to go to Chicago in my place even though it was very last minute notice. 

Thanks so much, Bill, for being patient and kind when people (umm, I) are grumpy and out of sorts in the library. You make the library a good place to be!
