Provides Excellent Customer Service

Careen Wong-Stach, Alumni Engagement and Annual Giving
Careen helped me create a new process and spent hours working on formatting new forms. She went above and beyond to help me ... her attention to detail, thinking outside the box and getting the job done made working with her so easy. She is a rock star!

Jeremiah worked tirelessly on an IT issue with a program. He provided excellent customer service, followed up often and was always available to work through the issues. I appreciate him!

Kelley Avila, Undergraduate Degree Evaluations – University Registrar
Kelley is the absolute best! She is always helpful, has all the answers and is as fast as Lightning McQueen with responses. She goes above and beyond to reassure that each individual question is answered.

Sam Porraz, Degree Audit and Transfer Credit
One of Sam's many responsibilities is serving as lead encoder for the Degree Progress Report (DPR). I appreciate the determination and commitment he directs toward encoding projects that come his way. During a recent encoding project we worked on together, he went above and beyond to ensure we arrived at the intended result by the established deadline. Thank you, Sam, for all your work on the DPR which ultimately helps many of us do our jobs every day!
