Works Above and Beyond

Annette Gallegos, Academic Scheduling
Annette is very dedicated and always willing to step in and help as needed. Her hard work and willingness to go above and beyond are greatly appreciated!

Kris Ratliff, Technology Services
Kris is a terrific employee. Not only is he quick to respond, but he is so nice and friendly each time he walks into our office. He has gone above and beyond when he helped with our collaboration with Fresno Unified summer camps. He works hard to help our division with all our technology issues, I am so glad he is on our team.

Ross Whitton, Advising Center, College of Social Sciences
Thank you Ross for your hard work during Dog Days! We wanted to recognize you on behalf of our orientation leader, Christian. Christian says Ross was always positive and proactive, had excellent organization and teamwork with the OLs.

Saved my Bacon

Kris Ratliff, Technology Services
Kris responded immediately when I submitted a ticket order and besides taking care of my printer issues, also found and granted me access to documents and files I desperately needed and hadn't been able to locate. He has saved me countless hours of work by not having to recreate flyers and a handbook. Thank you, Kris, for your support and excellent customer service too!

Provides Excellent Customer Service

Isaac Caro, Academic Scheduling
Isaac is always so professional and courteous to those he works with, no matter the situation. His calm demeanor and steadfast professionalism are a credit to the excellent customer service he provides!

Nate Gapasin, Academic Resources
Nate has repeatedly provided prompt, courteous and helpful assistance when we are dealing with difficult budget and accounts payable/receivable issues. Working at Fresno State, we all run into bureaucratic red tape and challenging policies, but Nate helps cut through all of that and makes our jobs so much less complicated.

Facilities Management - Painting Staff
The Facilities Management Painting staff is amazing! We have had a few projects at the Smittcamp Alumni House, and the staff always have great communication regarding working being done, excellent work ethic and everything looks fresh and new once the project is completed.

Starbucks
I had to return to Starbucks cause the sandwich I ordered wasn't right. They quickly offered to give me something else. I have seen Casey and the crew at the busiest of times (during the semester 10 minutes till the next hour and everyone is in the library Starbucks) and the slowest (summertime). They handle what comes at them the best that they can. I appreciate the customer service they can muster in those extremely busy times. Thank you!
