Shout Outs

Every time I have had to fill phone requests, Becky is always fast and helpful. She makes the process painless. Thank you so much!

Dennis was right about to bite into a delicious hot pocket for a very late lunch when I barged in needing access to a Doudna room. Without hesitation, Dennis popped right up to get me what I needed as he always does. This kind of team support helps me do my job to the best of my ability and I am always grateful for his and his staff's commitment!

Shoutout to Doyle Terrell for doing an outstanding job in Coleman Hall this semester. Doyle has taken on extra responsibilities due to another BSW being off on medical leave and Doyle and his newly hired student workers are doing an outstanding job. It has not gone unnoticed. We appreciate you very much, Doyle. Thank you for all you do.

Jana is one of the brilliant minds behind interlibrary loan at Booth Library. So much library work goes on behind the scenes to make access to information fast and seamless. Jana is one of the folks who makes sure our students get the books and chapters and articles they need from all over the world so they can write great papers and do excellent research. Thanks Jana!

Deborah always employs her sharp mind and wonderful creativity to the work she does at Booth Library. She deserves our thanks for her dedication and care for our students! 

Heather is a wonderful Library Specialist and a great person to work with. She will go above and beyond to assist our students and she deserves many thanks and respect!

Shout out to Mallorie for being so helpful in getting our scholarship up and running on Academic Works!! - You were right on top of it and we got it sent out to the students so they can start applying - THANK YOU for your kind assistance. GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Just wanting to say this Department couldn't function with out Patty. She takes care of more things than can be mentioned in this small space. She's the most even tempered, unshakeable, most knowledgeable individual that I know at EIU. She is one of the most valuable assets this place has! Thank you isn't enough - but that's all I can do right now. 

Purchasing agreements sure can be a tricky thing with the university , but Connie did a great job of keeping the lines of communication open and kept us up to speed on how things were moving along and was great to work with! Glad we were able to get this finalized and up and running. Thank you Connie!

Lauren has been doing a tremendous job this year.  She has taken on advising our NRHH organizaion on her own and the group is thriving.  She has also dealt with some difficult student situations that have occured in her area and handled them with care and compassion. She is has been a tremendous leader and mentor to the staff she supervises.  Great Work! 

Patrick is a tremendous asset to EIU!  This year he is having to fill in for another staff vacancy while also doing his own job.  He has also had some stressful situation arise but has handled these all with professionalism and grace.  We are thankful and grateful for all that Pat does here in Housing and Dining.  

Thank you so very much, Mallorie, for fielding 45+ phone calls and emails from me...on an average day. You have made navigating AcademicWorks into more of a team-building exercise than a Game of Thrones scenario. You whistle while you work--sometimes literally, but always at least figuratively. Thank you for your cheerful, awesome work.

Thank you Janet for all you do for the College of Health and Human Services.  You make the building a pleasant place to spend the day and you are a truly kind person.

Big time thanks to Tracey Hutchison in the Graduate School for quickly and efficiently assisting with some coding and advisor changes needed for students in the old FCS and new Human Services degrees! Wow! She's good stuff!

JT, you are awesome!  Thank you for always going above and beyond when a department needs something.  You take care of issues quickly and thoroughly.  EIU is lucky to have you!!!

Between it being a historic building and with construction going on, the McAfee gym probably isn't the easiest place to keep clean, but Paul has been doing an excellent job. His hard work and friendly attitude have made him an excellent addition to the building! Glad to have you over here Paul!

Shoutout to Michelle Morgan. Thanks for everything you do for the College of Health and Human Services.

Congratulations to our official Director of the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships, Amanda Starwalt!!! So glad to see your days finally come! It’s well deserved and I’m excited to continue to witness the great impact you make on the office and our students! 

You have been an invaluable resource as we continue to learn the intricacies of building courses and entering information in ASTRA. You are always so calm and willing to help whenever we call you stuck in the system and just can't figure it out.  You have been known to drop everything and run over to our office to help.  Thank you so much.  Peggy and Peggy
