Ryan Howard got a shoutout! Nov 17, 2021
Ryan is an excellent teammate in the Office of Admissions. Recently, Ryan stepped up on short notice to lead a session during a staff training session and did an excellent job leading an inclusive, thoughtful discussion. He also recently organized fun team building exercises that enhanced staff chemistry and connection. No matter what is needed, Ryan always steps up to help his teammates. He has been an especially good example for new staff members when it comes to professionalism and how to be a good teammate. Ryan‘s kindness, his passion for EIU, his work ethic, and his curriculum / transfer knowledge all combine to make him a valued resource for his students and a beloved member of the Admissions team.
