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.

Jason Hamilton got a shoutout from David Smith! Feb 4, 2016

The ITS Department would like for everyone to give a big round of applause to Jason Hamilton. This guy is the cause of a lot of the success we do here in the ITS department. The majority of his work and accomplishments are behind the scenes. If it wasn’t for his talent and kindness, then the Technicians and other areas would have to work a lot harder than they already do. Thank you Jason for being such an important part of this campus!

David Smith got a shoutout from Anne Youakim! Feb 3, 2016

We had an issue with a laptop computer in the laboratory at CENCERE. I called this in last Friday afternoon, expecting someone to come out on Monday. Instead, Dave stopped by on his way home and tried to help us with our problem- inability to log in. By stopping to help us, he delayed his family's departure for a trip to the Chicago area. Thank you, Dave, for going the extra mile!

Josh, served on the ADIR committee in fall 2015. He did an amazing job securing a room where we could do conference calls including Skyping; was quick on his laptop (always present), adding the various activities to his calendar which sent other members and automatic add (I really appreciated that), and keeping us going with a healthy dose of humor, especially on long days. Josh definitely deserves a shout out!
