Kathy stepped up to present a Saturday workshop during Athletics Higher Education Day. It was something outside of her normal scope of work, but she volunteered to help me out on this labor of love project. Kathy has helped me out on numerous projects, always willing to step up. Kathy is gracious with her time and always willing to help students. She's someone I can always count on.

Provided Excellent Customer Service

I ordered copy paper and just a short time later Tiffany delivered our many boxes of paper. Tiffany has great customer service, and I appreciate her hard work!
