A big thank you to Christine Childress in facilities. With all the staffing issues, retirements, and tremendous workloads at the beginning of this semester, Chris quickly and efficiently went into gear and took charge of the request for McAfee. Thanks for all you do for EIU, Chris!
Jerry Rankin got a shoutout from Jay Grabiec! Jan 11, 2022
Jerry has saved my a$$ on more than one occasion. It seems like no matter what I do to prepare for my classes, something inevitably goes wrong and having someone who is able to fix issues on the fly when I've got a classroom of students staring at me is wonderful. Jerry promptly and efficiently takes care of tech problems with very little notice and makes it possible for me to do my job.
