Shout Outs

Thank you, Beth, for introducing me to Jackie Spinner and beginning what was a wonderful presentation to our Special Education teacher candidates on Friday, April 5. It was a wonderful presentation that they're still talking about this week in their classes. 

A big thank you and appreciation to Chris Cougill for his continually going above and beyond to connect EIU people to Library resources. When I need something, Chris makes it happen yesterday. Thank you!

Big thanks to Amanda for helping me work through a complicated retirement variable. Amanda took time out of her day to make sure this issue was sorted out and was totally committed to helping me through it. Her service oriented attitude is really inspiring and is the kind of value that makes EIU a great place to work!

I want to forward the recent Shout Out that I received to Angie Rhoads, who actually did the work - quickly, well, and cheerfully - as always!  Thank you, Angie! 

Dr. Shelton is busy with a million tasks as Dean of College of Liberal Arts & Sciences. However, I contacted her with a request for MSED Curriculum & Instruction program. It was an intense request that I knew going in would take up a lot of her time (or one of her assistant's time). She went above and beyond to assist and did so in a timely manner. Super helpful and much appreciated!

I would like to give a HUGE shoutout to Mac White for all of his hard work choosing programming for WEIU TV!  He works so hard at keeping the best programming for our viewers!  Thanks Mac!!

The recent collaboration among the Concert Band, Eastern Symphonic Band, and Booth Library produced a really unique and enjoyable concert. The crowd loved every bit of the performance! Bravo, Dr. Druffel and the rest of the musicians!

Andy and the rest of the Booth Library team have done a fantastic job with the On the Shoulders of Giants: The Moon and Beyond exhibit. They have showcased fascinating speakers, incorporated other departments at EIU through wonderful programming partnerships, and have creatively educated the public about all things NASA. They reached for the Moon and are soaring toward the stars. Way to go, Booth family!

Kyle, thanks for your help with the AASP grant! Glad to have you on our team.

Shout out to Valerie for all you do for EIU!  I'm so glad you're here!

Josh is a coworker is willing to go above and beyond to help out not only his workers but anyone on campus. He is super knowledgeable and we all can learn a lot from him. Thanks Josh and keep up the great work!

Many thanks to Derrick for being a jack-of-all-trades while preparing for and running the 2019 FebFest Biology Open House and Science Festival Showcase. From creating TP shooters, to setting up stations and testing elephant toothpaste, Derrick was a key player in carrying out our event!

Hawah acted as an event day program manager and hostess for our FebFest Science Festival Showcase and benefitted the program greatly! Her quick wit and knowledge of university resources helped to make the event the grand success that it was. Thanks Hawah!

Mallorie Fonseca is the best!  She is always SO helpful and will find the answers that you need.  She is a valuable asset to Financial Aid and to the entire EIU community!

Thanks to Kim for all the great work she does! 

Jaime is literally the BEST! I don't know how she does everything she does...and I really don't know what the School of Communication & Journalism would do without her!!

I appreciate Dave's quick response and wiliness to help.

Kent is always positive and happy to help. Not only is he highly skilled, I've always been able to depend on him and his willingness to do the right thing.

Thank you to Mindy Hurst for fixing our file and saving me hours of work!

Loved, loved, loved the fact that you and your husband shuttled employees into Old Main from the parking lot this morning due to the frigid cold weather!  Super sweet and exceptionally thoughtful...thank you and please thank your husband as well!!

What can I say? The lady with ALL of the answers! Always positive and helpful. An awesome employee. We need more Amandas!

As we kick off another busy semester, I wanted to take a minute to extend my gratitude to Dr. John Cabage in the School of Technology.  John works tirelessly to make sure his students get what they need from day one in our Construction Management Program/Major and, overall, any coursework he is responsible for teaching. John is a true ambassador (in every sense of the word) for this program, the School of Technology, and Eastern Illinois University. Kudos for your hard work, dedication, and perseverance Dr. Cabage! 

Great attitude and always willing to help.

Just wanted to let you know how grateful I am to work with someone as patient and kind as you are!  Coworkers by chance, friends by choice!

Thanks for jumping right in and getting involved in our crazy!

Thanks for always making time for our unending list of updates/upgrades. And thanks for making them happen successfully!
