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.

I try to plan ahead as much as possible, but every once in a while things come up and I have problems in my classroom that need to get fixed quickly. Jerry Rankin in ITS has helped me out on many occasions with issues that are outside of my lane and has done so cheerfully and efficiently. It is because of people like Jerry that we are able to focus on our jobs and execute to the best of our ability. Thank you for saving my a#% again Jerry! I'll try to NOT create problems in the future!!!
