Shout Outs

Thanks to Susan Allen who helps make sure all our students have those most important learning tools--books! Susan's good cheer and patience with the most complicated book order situations makes life easier for faculty and students. Hats off to you, Susan!

Ellen runs the VPBA office professionally.  She's always been helpful and pleasant  She keeps track of our department's  paperwork and emails copies of approved requests.  That sounds simple, but often it can be very complicated.

In short, Ellen being in VPBA makes our work easier and I'm sure she has the same impact on many other departments.

Doris will be so missed in the Financial Aid office. She has made such an impact on our students, our office, and the entire Communiversity! She is well deserving of her retirement time after the years of service she has graced us with. Congrats, Doris, but don't forget to visit! Forever EIU! 

Words do not BEGIN to describe how amazing Paula has been over the past 2 months as we worked on packing up the entire department, including 40+ years of documents, etc., for our move to Klehm hall.  

There is NO WAY we would have survived this without her attention to detail, anticipatory problem solving, and sense of humor as we went through old documents, office supplies older than I am, etc.

Thanks, Paula!   Couldn't do this without you!

Coleman Hall is extremely grateful to have Jennie Thompson as the summer BSW. Coleman Hall hasn't been this clean in a long time. Jennie has taken on the work of what used to be done by five or six BSWs; she works extremely hard and even works up until the end of her shift. Her hard work has not gone unnoticed. She does exceptional work and is always friendly and outgoing. Give this gem a bonus!!! She deserves it. I can't say enough good things about her. 

Angi's genuine, bubbly personality and contagious laugh make our work days that much more enjoyable. Additionally, she can always be counted on to do excellent work. She is truly an asset to this institution. Keep up the great work, Angi!

Penny's friendly, compassionate smile and great work ethic make coming in to work an absolute delight. Thank you for all that you do, Penny!

Amanda always goes above and beyond what is expected of her. In addition, she brightens everyone's day with her kind-hearted smile and calming voice. Her compassion for others is beyond measure. Thanks for being such an asset to our workplace. You are one of the reasons we actually enjoy coming in to work here!

Thank you for being so helpful and so patient with all my questions! I truly appreciate everything you do for us! 

Thanks for always helping us, always knowing or finding the answer, and keeping the English Department running smoothly! You're the best!

A shout out to Angela Vietto on her first year as chair of the Department of English. She has stepped into a challenging job with grace and energy. The transition has been so much smoother for everyone in the department than I expected, and that is all to her talent for managing the work so well. Thank you, Angela!

Molly is so helpful and such a great asset to our EIU Team! 

We'll miss Jennie in McAfee! She does a great job and always has a friendly hello for you when you walk into the building. The people of Coleman Hall will be lucky to have her.

I've worked in the McAfee building for around 8 years and during the course of that time, it's never been as clean and tidy as when Jennie worked as our BSW. She was always very friendly and courteous to what we needed to have done and was a pleasure to have in the building. She will be missed!

A big thank you to Heidi Rawlings for all of her help!  She conducted informative training sessions for everyone who needed to know more about the budget process, and she has been so helpful whenever I have questions about the process.  You are awesome, Heidi!!!

Thank you to Jon Crask for being a jovial, smart, and ultra-efficient colleague in Panther Print and Copy Center. I thank my lucky stars that I can count on Jon for always doing a beautiful job, however swamped he gets. Thank you so much.

This is a long-overdue thank you to Dustin White for being so helpful and innovative, really, in addressing website update and revamp issues for the Pine Honors College. Dustin has shown superb technical savvy and creative finesse in fixing and beautifying website content here and on other EIU web pages. Thank you for being magnificent and gracious.

Shout out to Renee for her dedication to business majors and to the School of Business.  As Internship Coordinator Renee encourages students to participate in at least one internship so that they can gain professional experience in their field.  She serves as a resource for students interested in finding an internship and maintains a listserv with job postings and helpful tips for interns and those seeking an internship.

Shout out to Lisa Canivez for being an awesome academic advisor!  Students know that she cares and they trust that she will always provide advice with their best interests in mind.  Lisa works to help students get on track and stay on track through graduation.  EIU and the School of Business are lucky to have her on their team.
