Works Above and Beyond

Marie Cunningham, Accounting Services
Not only did Marie take the time to provide training on Concur, she has been a tremendous support as I worked through booking my first travel plans through Concur. It was with her guidance and dedication that I was able to grow my confidence in using the system and increase my understanding of procedures.

Mike Frick, Facilities Management
Mike and the facilities team have been working extra hard at taking our landscape to the next level around our building. We appreciate their commitment to address our issues and assist in making our building landscape and campus landscape beautiful for students, staff, faculty and the community to enjoy. Keep up the great work!

Will Tubbs, Technology Services
I have an external drive that stores all of my research and school files. Last week, the drive failed on me, and I couldn't access the drive at all. The message said "corrupted drive" and this had me panicking. I was completely dumbfounded with the situation. He took my drive and worked relentlessly over the weekend and got it fixed. I'm so grateful that we have Will and his spirit of helping his colleagues. I'm so thankful and I give my high five to Will.

Fatih Yenen, Technology Services
Fatih was fantastic in helping to launch the College of Arts and Humanities website redesign. He walked me through every step of the process, and his responsiveness was often immediate. Anytime I had an issue or a change, he was just a quick instant message away and would usually have the problem resolved within minutes. His team has also followed his leadership in providing fast and accurate service. Beyond the fast service, Fatih also worked through the weekend before our website launch to ensure everything was ready at launch time. Thank you, Fatih! It was terrific working with you.
