Shout Outs

Let's hear it for everyone who'd been keeping Taylor Hall Dining an option for those of us still on campus... thank you, Mary!

Beth  is a tireless cheerleader for the wonderful work that goes on in Booth Library. She is very flexible with her time and energy and is willing to jump in on any new project. She is a great asset to the Library! Thank you Beth!

During a time when we are faced with a difficult situation, but still want to do all we can to serve our students, it's important that we work together. Sandy was instrumental in providing prompt support in order to compile some useful registration resources to our students. Thank you for your help Sandy!

A very special thank you to Deb and Greg for keeping Old Main extremely clean and sanitized through both construction messes and COVID-19!  It makes those of us physically working feel that much safer 

This is a shout out for the amazing Steve Brantley, who on a Sunday (and I'm emphasizing that) worked out a video issue for me--even ripping a DVD himself! 

Everyone needs to know how much he rocks!

And please let him know when you see him or hear from him.

You are the Rockstar of the castle!!! Not only are you doing an incredible job under these difficult circumstances, but your genuine care for staff is apparent, and appreciated.

I have respected Steve's work and enjoyed his company on committees over the years. Yesterday, as I was navigating new territory in Microsoft Teams and setting up a ZOOM Meeting for a class, suddenly I was chatting with him (I had chat open and so he could connect with me). We got caught up during this time of remote learning and shelter in place and then, he helped me navigate what I needed to do. He deserves a Shout Out for the selfless way he helped me despite what he was doing. Totally appreciated and just a wonderful example of what we can all be doing. Thank you, Steve.

BIG shout out to dining services for providing meals during the Covid-19 shutdown.  Those of us working on campus and trying to keep things moving along really appreciate it, and this reuben is delicious!  

Special shoutout to our BSWs, Vaughn Plunkett, Caleb West and Doyle Terrell, for their hard work in cleaning and disinfecting our building! All of us at Booth Library appreciate you!

Thank you Philip for always handling d2l requests with promptness and professionalism. It is definitely appreciated!! 

Thanks so much for all of your help this past week (and always, really). Without being asked, you never fail to go above and beyond and think proactively of ways to help. EIU is lucky to have such a great team player!

Thanks to Chadd for responding to our request for help. 

Chadd is always good to work with, he keeps us informed of the timeline for the work.

He is great at attention to detail and follow through!

Carol is a great colleague who knows how to get things done.  She takes the time to talk with everyone who comes into her office, and people know they can count on her when they need it.  Thank you Carol!

Jennifer is the most amazing person at her job, and is always willing to help out and stop what she is working on to answer any question.  Jennifer you ROCK!!!!

Shannon Bell is the Assistant to the Dean in the College of Education - she is very knowledgeable and willing to help others when needed. We are all better when we help each other.  Thank you Shannon for being a team player. 

Jay's images are always fantastic. It's helpful to have a lot of good options to accompany stories in the alumni magazine or in the alumni e-newsletter. 

Thank you Kenia from Admissions and to your GA Adam Sandoval for your help at GlobalFest last weekend!  From filling in for a student who got sick at the last minute for cascarones to co-teaching "Dancing Through Mexico" for four hours straight, you guys created a high-impact experience for the attending high-school students that will for sure make them remember EIU when they are ready to look for a college!  Gracias, jóvenes, los queremos y los apreciamos mucho.

Jon Crask and his team at Panther Print and Copy were as always a great help in designing and printing materials for GlobalFest Illinois, a celebration of world languages and cultures that our department hosted last weekend for high-school students.  The faculty at the Department of World Languages & Cultures appreciates Jon's expertise at design and the reliability of his team in quickly turning around print jobs and even delivery to Coleman!

A huge "Thank you" to Jeff whose expertise, patience, and constant support are invaluable to our Department! Our GlobalFest Illinois event (200 visitors) went smoothly--and your kind support was much appreciated!  Gracias! Danke! Merci! from all of us. 

A big shout out to Amanda Zucco -- always a smile on her face, caring, prompt and reliably competent!! A role model for everyone at EIU!

Always does great work, but especially this past week pulling together data and other information immediately after it was asked for.
