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.

Thanks for all you do for the faculty in the School of Business!  You're so patient with us, helpful when we don't always deserve it, and work so hard to support the work we do.  We don't say thank you enough, so I'll say it again:  Thank you!  And what you do for us also has a significant impact on our students, so on their behalf I say thank you indirectly from the students.  You ARE appreciated even if it doesn't always seem so.  Thank you!!!

Who pitches in, when Shaun is hurt

Shining our floors, and sweeping away dirt

Walking Buzzard Hall, mile by mile

Working steadily,  with a smile

-Diana, that's who!!
