Larry does an outstanding job at Booth Library. His years of dedication and service and wealth of knowledge in ILL is a tremendous asset. A HUGE THANK YOU to Larry for all he does to make EIU a better place!

I really appreciate the help Sam provided me in our search for high talent Graphic Design students. She invited myself and my team to join her class while allowing us to speak to her students regarding the position. This was so helpful, allowed students to ask questions in a safe space and just provided the best talent pool. We ended up finding what we were looking for and now have 2 new team members! We are so happy to welcome them in, see what they can do and couldn't have completed our goal without Sam's help. Thanks for always being willing to assist.

Jana is such a stellar Booth employee! She always goes above and beyond with ILL and does it with a smile! Thank you, Jana!

Dan is such a wonderful colleague! Always there to help and support.

Big shout out to Brian Goad!

He’s been an incredible resource for our students, guiding them through internships, scholarships, and all the real-world readiness conversations that matter. Lumpkin College is stronger because of his work.

Shout out to Lisa Brooks 👏

She has been doing an amazing job meeting with students and families, and spending time talking with prospective students about their future at EIU.

Lisa’s Hospitality and Tourism courses create an incredible experience for students—blending real-world application, professionalism, and genuine care.

Grateful to have colleagues like Lisa who make our programs stronger and our students feel seen and supported.

Nicole is not only a second mom to many of the football players, but she is also a tremendous support to her coworkers. She is always there to offer kindness, compassion, support, and a really good pun! She is a light around campus and the athletic department!

Thank you, Vicki, for all your help with the cohort data for Freshmen/Transfer Connection! We truly appreciate your efforts to support EIU students, and you are an important part of our team.

Thanks to David for always being open to assisting us with issues. At the end of the semester, a professor encountered an Outlook email issue. Email communication is extremely important this time of year, and we spent hours troubleshooting it. Thanks for always being available!

Michael helped me with something simple and did not make me feel dumb about it. LOL!!! Michael, thanks for getting my shared email accounts aligned.

Karla, that Holiday Luncheon meal was delish. The new menu items were carefully selected and melded well together. A perfect stranger spoke with me outside about that roast. it was good and thanks to you and your crew for another delicious lunch!.

There is NO SNOW in front of our building!!!!!!! The folks in Life Sciences are SO THANKFUL that Darrin spent time in the cold snow on Monday and Tuesday shoveling our walks COMPLETELY! There was no slipping and sliding as we came in, no puddles and no wet carpet inside because of how COMPLETELY clean the outside was swept and shoveled. Thank you, Darrin!

A big thank you to Dave for working out on the roof during the snow and in the dark recently trying to get the heat back on to a building.
