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.

HUGE thanks to our BSW Kim.  Keeping the main floor of Lantz clean and professional looking is not easy, but you do it with humor and grace!  Our carpets haven't looked this good in decades.

This place will shine on Saturday for Commencement!

Kelly Partenheimer got a shoutout! Apr 17, 2018

A *GIANT* shout-out to Kelly Partenheimer, who somehow manages to keep us all from running over each other or into each other as we plan and host different events on campus. She is always patient with questions and changes and confusions (my confusions, not hers).

I don't know how you do it, Kelly--and I don't know what we would do without you! Thank you so much.

Christopher Bartlett got a shoutout from Paul McCann! Apr 10, 2018

The administration would like to thank Chris and his team for the diligence and hard work they put in during the recent rain storm.  They identified a potential major electrical issue and corrected it with only minor inconveniences to the campus.  The alternative would have been a $500,000 repair bill.  Thank you Chris and team!!

BIG THANK YOU to Sam Eddinger for his expertise and patience with my recent computer issue.  Re-imaged and everything is where it belongs and working again!

What can you say about Merry?  Merry has such a depth of knowledge in her area that she is amazing.  What would we do without her?  Merry is always ready to lend a hand and help you enjoy the payroll process as she solves any issues you may have.  GREAT JOB, Merry!
