Shout Outs

I would like to express my appreciation for the helpfulness you have demonstrated since joining the help desk. We are particularly grateful for your assistance with Microsoft MFA.

Really appreciate the effort you put in and the positive attitude you bring to the team.

Thank you so much Steph, for all your continued help to the TLF Department. We appreciate you!

Another terrific job on the Graduate Journal and Ceremony program! I heard so many compliments at the awards event on both! Thank you for all of your work and dedication to ensure sure everything was perfect. Looking forward to collaborating next year!

As always, you came through for the me (and the Graduate School) with what I thought would be an impossible ask. Your hard work, and ability never cease to amaze me. Next year is the year we submit our print requests with several days to spare, I swear! :-)

The Graduate School events would not have went as smoothly as they did if it weren't for your help, tenacity and hard work! Thank you so much for being so proactive, helping keep things straight, and never shying away from a task. You da bomb!

Thank you so much for all you did for me during the University Research Day events. You truly went above and beyond to help a colleague!!

Your preparedness, attentiveness to detail, thoughtful ideas, and willingness to change things last minute, helped make the Graduate School's multiple events on University Research Day flow so smoothly!! Thank you, Misty, for your kindness, patience, and terrific "we can make this happen" attitude.

Once again, Brad has been invaluable to our TLF team this week. We appreciate you and all you do to help our department and in turn our students. Many thanks to Brad for sharing his expertise, knowledge, and service!

Huge thanks to Ed Taylor for the outstanding painting work. The space looks amazing—clearly in the hands of a pro and great sense of humor to match. We appreciate you! Keep up the great work!

Thanks to Stacey for getting all of my students set up in the e-classroom and ensuring that they were able to teach their lessons successfully. We had to move over to the e-classroom last minute and she really stepped in and saved the day!

Thank you Ian for responding so quickly to HR's request. We appreciate you, what you do, and explanations!

Thanks for the work you do to support Geology-Geography. We appreciate you.

Thanks for her support of the science teacher licensure students. She gave us a tour of the Ballenger Teacher Center early in the semester and is always very helpful.

Crystal did a great job coordinating and executing Panther Service Day. She had a small group on Friday and a group of 88+ on Saturday that went to different locatons across Charleston and Mattoon. The hours put in by your staff and the student volunteers truly make a difference at EIU and in our Coles County community!

Shoutout to Madison for all her hard work in planning and implementing the Panther Leadership Awards last weekend! She is a rockstar graduate assistant and works her magic to make everything come to life! The OLE and our students are lucky to have her!

I wanted to give a shoutout to Ariel for a successful Greek Week last week! On top of her role in the FSL Office, she has also stepped up to assist with New Student and Family Programs. She is a true rockstar and deserves to be recognized! Our campus is better because of her hard work!

I wanted to give a shoutout to Nathan and his Fraternity & Sorority Life team for having a successful Greek Week! They brought current Greek members and Alumni together for an eventful weekend which was the icing on the cake. Kudos to you all!

A long-distance Shoutout from an out-of-state annuitant for Becky Shew of Tech Support. Her patient guidance through the process of migration from Duo Security to Microsoft MFA is appreciated greatly. Also, providing helpful pictures and specs of the type of Yubikey and adapters needed for my older desktop made the transition easier for this low-tech retiree. Thanks so much!

Thank you, Jennifer. You are always so helpful and gracious when I call you with a Banner issue. I appreciate your willingness to help me!

Danny, thank you for always taking the time to help me when I'm struggling with Banner or the multitude of other programs I have to interact with on a daily basis. I appreciate you!

Thank you for holding down the fort at the check in station during the counseling clinic suicide prevention conference. You have been so appreciated.

Kaitlyn brought so many relaxing items, seats, lights and more to help support our regulation room at the suicide prevention conference today. Then she stayed all day to help support. You are awesome.

Thanks Sarah for the food drop off for myself and all those that helped with our conference today. You really are a team player. So appreciated!

Thank you misty for your help with our conference today! Everything we set up wonderfully. You are appreciated

Thank you DJ for all your help getting everything set up for our conference! We appreciate you.

Thanks for all that you and Dr. Gard did to organize the Sports Industry Trip. It was an amazing experience for students. You are always working on something to support your students, and it does not go unrecognized.

I really appreciate what a kind, wise, and hard-working colleague Stephen Lucas is. He is doing a lot for the COE, and we appreciate him!

HUGE thanks for suggesting the new plan to get all of our Graduate School award winners’ pictures taken for this year’s Journal publication! Your solution made the process easier for everyone involved—including the students!—which is definitely appreciated at this busy time of year. And your quick editing work on the photos made them look like we totally knew what we were doing when we took them! 🙂

Shout to Anna Nelson, who joined the University Advancement team in late January and has been championing several marketing projects related to social media, publications, and events. She has been tirelessly spreading the word about Giving Day, coming up on April 22. We are thankful to have her on our team.   

Thank you, Brad! We can never say thank you enough to Brad for his consistent, gracious and efficient help in all things we do here in TLF. It is not too small a point to say that Brad is a God Send to TLF!
