Shout Outs

Kudos to you and your staff for a GREAT commencement day!!!

Doug came immediately when dispatched by work control to take care of our walk in freezer.  Assisted by Brian Fritts, our freezer is back up and running.  What a wonderful response time and team work by our trades.

Brian did an outstanding job assisting Doug Repp in repairing our walk in freezer so we did not lose product.  What an excellent team of tradesman we have here at EIU.

For teaching me friends are a call away.

For having patience with me.

For being there when I needed it.

For being so nice to me, even when I screw up a lot.

Xueting 'Sophia' Sun has been a bright spot in our department. She does professionalism well. She does accounting well. She does leadership well. She is able to leap tall buildings with a single bound and I am going to miss her!!! Sophia - you have helped to bring the BIO department "forward" in numerous well. I greatly appreciate you. You will be an asset to department, program or position that you choose to pursue. God Bless You!!!

For being an example of what leadership should be. You advocate for your staff and more importantly, for EIU. You never stop raising the bar on what is expected of yourself and others. You are one spectacular person.

I think Ellen goes way beyond what her job requires. I Feel that the University is a better place to work because of her. It is a pleasure to work with her. 

For being one of the very few people to actually listen to me when I need help. 

EIU and Booth Library are fortunate to have you as part of our campus family. Your professionalism, work ethic, and kind-hearted compassion are admirable qualities and you are an inspiration to me and to many. Thank you, Marlene. I am proud to call you my colleague and friend. 

Jason always steps up to any new challenge. He figures things out quickly and accurately. He is a valued member of our team and I am grateful to work with him. He is a great resource for EIU.

Laurel, you are amazing!(:

Ceci, thanks for being PAWtastic!

Jean Toothman is amazing! She gives 100% to her work, even when some of us don't completely deserve it (we know who we are). The English Department is incredibly lucky to work with such a dedicated, knowledgeable, and caring professional.SHOUT OUT TO JEAN!

Thank you for the wonderful job you're doing with the Cafe! 

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!

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!

Angie you are AWESOME!! We appreciate all of your reports, crunching number and doing it with such tact! Keep up the good work and thanks for your dedication.......even when you don't feel good. :)

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! 

Great job in all you do in processing an increasing number of international student applicants and also with current students! You are EIU :-)
