Shout Outs

I'd like to give a big shout out to DJ Fox for supporting me and giving me the resources that I need to keep the EIU Bowling lanes running. It is a difficult task but made easier when we work as a team!

The food court is phenomenal! You have helped lead your team in offering great food and a great environment. It is exciting to see the area buzzing with students, staff, and faculty throughout the day. Good work to you and your team members!

You are doing a great job with your sexual misconduct investigation and Title IX investigation work! Thank you for taking on such a difficult role within the institution. We appreciate all that you have done for our students in this capacity.

Koty was absolutely VITAL to me being able to walk at graduation this weekend, and I am beyond grateful for her incredible support. I had missed the deadline to submit my order to Herff Jones, and without her stepping in, I would not have been able to participate in such an important moment of my life. Koty not only took charge and made sure everything was handled, but she did so with such care and dedication. Her willingness to go above and beyond truly made all the difference. I feel so incredibly blessed by her amazing help and I can't express enough how much it meant to me. Thank you, Koty, for being such an incredible lifesaver.

Shannon saw the need for outstanding leadership in the School of Extended Learning and willingly took on the challenge as Interim Director. Shannon is doing an amazing job! Your hard work and dedication are not going unnoticed! Many thanks, Shannon for all you do!

Thank you for all of your work and efforts in making sure all of the AED's across campus are checked and properly working every month! This is such an important task that many do not see you perform, and we want to let you know that you are seen doing this and to make sure you are recognized for this caring act!

Amy has an incredible work ethic, learns very quickly, has taken on the dual credit coordinator role in addition to her other responsibilities, and she is always kind and responsive. EIU is lucky to have people like Amy, and I am grateful to have her as a colleague. Thanks, Amy.

Samuel has been such a huge asset to the School of Extended Learning, using his computer expertise to help create new and efficient processes that improved our ability to handle information! As a grad student, he took on a huge responsibility and is due much, much appreciation! He's pleasant, a hard worker, and any organization would benefit from his exceptional knowledge. Best wishes for your future Samuel!

So thankful for all Danny has done for EIU! He's tirelessly built bridges between EIU and many community organizations, putting EIU in a positive light! EIU will miss you Danny! You'll be a difficult person to replace!

When you have an issue Ben is a great person to deal with. He knows what he is doing, is very customer oriented, and always takes care of your issue in a timely manner with a great attitude. Thank you Ben for all you do!

I was thinking of you as I finished a quick interview with a reporter from EdWeek. I was singing your praises as we wouldn’t be in the dual enrollment/credit sphere without you. Since the academic year 2017, 17,375 students have earned 61,474 college credits through EIU dual credit/enrollment offering. How awesome that EIU has been a part of creating a greater line of sight to College for so many High School students in the state of Illinois. Thanks for being such a huge part of designing that process!

Thanks for planning time to invest in our leadership this past week. The time together, and Anne's insight was valuable and welcome. I know we are all grateful for it!

A HUGE shout out to Susan Allen - she takes care of so much behind the scenes and helps our faculty and students. Thank you for being one of the many unsung HEROS on campus. You are GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Kirstin and the library team always level up, providing fun and engaging activities for students to decompress a little during final exams week. Thanks for delivering another successful finals week campaign! Our students are enjoying the treats, games and activities and the fun Wicked theme.

We appreciate all that you do, Danny. You go above and beyond for all committees you help organize, and it seems that you get thrown into roles where you are leading or co-leading them, including but not limited to CORE/Retention, SEATS, and New Student Orientation Task Force. You are a good colleague, and we appreciate your consistent, collegial/professional demeanor. Thank you.

Thank you for all that you are doing as Office Administrator in Human Services. These are not easy positions to transition into, and we appreciate all of your hard work and patience with us. We are glad you are a part of the Human Services team!

Thank you for all that you've done for each Department with work on the CHHS Curriculum Committee. Your attention to detail and patience is valued and very much appreciated! We also appreciate your work on the CHHS social media, the decor for holiday or other gatherings, and all of the extra things you do. We are grateful for you, Janet!

Thank you for all of your care and assistance in helping students who are seeking late retroactive withdrawals and medical leaves of absence. Your kindness and compassion are truly evident!

Thank you to James for all of his help! He is always customer friendly and always helpful. If he tells you he is going to do something he gets it done! Always great to work with.

My emails disappeared and Erik helped me within a few minutes! Thank you, Erik- I genuinely appreciate your prompt action and professionalism.

A BIG thanks to Kyle and all the GAs in the Center for Student Innovation this semester. Kyle, you have been so flexible and always willing to find a way to make things work so that multiple events could be held throughout the semester. Your work allowed 100+ students the opportunity to experience all the great new tools and tech the CSI houses for our students, and gave them a place to find community. The student leadership team for the Library Ambassadors of Booth is grateful!

Thank you Denise for your quick response and willingness to think outside the box to help a student with their Spring schedule this week. Your work is much appreciated!

Amy has done such a tremendous job taking over dual credit processes and serving our High School partners well. I am so grateful for Amy's dedication, work ethic, and creativity through the process. Dual credit makes such a difference for our regional students who would not otherwise have access to early college credit and I am so glad that Amy is part of making sure those opportunities exist for students in and out of our local region.

Always willing to go the extra mile to ensure the quality of work is maintained throughout the day's operations. Thank you!
