Works Above and Beyond

Chris Cruz, Technology Services
Chris always works above and beyond when it comes to assisting us with our IT needs. He is outstanding! He is very patient and will always assist with helping us figuring out any issues we have. He always goes above and beyond, but last week he helped me resolve an IT purchase that was no where to be found for a new faculty member and worked with me until we had it resolved in a fast, timely matter. Chris is really great. Thank you, Chris for all you do for us in CRIM. We appreciate you!

Mike Harding, Technology Services
Mike goes above and beyond in assisting the procurement department and our campus departments. He is always very prompt with his thorough software accessibility reviews and will help to expedite the reviews if necessary. Mike will work directly with our software vendors to get all of the necessary information to complete his reviews.

Sarah Kern, Technology Services
Sarah was very helpful during our web redesign project. Although she was not directly on the team, she was allowed to assist. She led a meeting, created great documentation, and was able to help the project get done on time. Thank you, Sarah!

Kevin Taloza, Procurement
Kevin works above and beyond when it comes to assisting with any procurement needs. He worked with me last week in submitting a rush order and he worked on it right away. Thank you, Kevin, for all you do!

Admissions (Transfer Team)
Thank you, Admissions, for going Above and Beyond!

Harminder not only provides excellent customer service, she also goes above and beyond to help all the students in the criminology department. She is truly a rock star. Thank you, Harminder for all you do and thank you for always providing the absolute best customer service to not just our students, but to faculty, staff, and the community. I do not know what it would be like in the criminology department if you were not here. Thank you!

Leiah Reed, Human Resources
Leiah has been very attentive to the needs in my office. She has been supportive and empathetic. Thank you, Leiah!
