Libby has been a tremendous asset to the housing team this year.  She has built a great community with a lot of buy in from residents.  I am so grateful for her ability to handle difficult situations.  Libby has gone above and beyond to find resolutions to several roommate conflicts and worked tirelessly to promote caring and understanding, while finding great solutions for her residents.  Thank you so much for your hard work and innovative mind.  Your willingness to provide great ideas to improve the resident experience is very much appreciated! 

Alexis has done phenomenal work this semester.  She has built a great community in Pemberton hall and really created a sense of belonging and buy in with her residents.  Most notably, Pemberton Hall had a haunted house in the month of October that raised over $1000 for Hope East Central Illinois.  The event was incredibly engaging and a lot of fun for members of the Charleston community to attend.  Keep up the amazing work that you do! 

Jeff has made a point to be available to meet with potential students during their campus visit time. Thank you for being flexible and changing meeting times for these students. You are making an impact on their college decision and their decision within their major. 

I am so grateful for all of Jeff’s help with D2L. He is always willing to help out at a moment’s notice, and is always so thorough in getting to the bottom of any issue. He is also an extremely patient teacher and excellent communicator, meaning he doesn’t just solve problems, but teaches you how to avoid/solve problems in the future. Jeff’s can-do attitude has helped me to maximize the potential of what D2L can do for me and my students. Thank you Jeff! 

Sandra went above and beyond this past week when she helped me take my large togo order from the food court to my family in the parking lot of the Union. We were running late and were down to one car so her assistance gave me time to eat with my family.  She is another shining example of who we are at EIU!!  Thank you so much 

Thanks for the HEAT

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!

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!

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.
