Works Above and Beyond

John Howell, Technology Services
I have worked with John Howell for the last year or so. I appreciate John's proactive attitude towards projects under his purview. He has been able to accurately identify reported issues at hand and provides reasonable and long-term oriented solutions. He also follows up to ensure that what was shared by email was understood as intended. Thank you, John!

Angelica Miramontes, College of Social Sciences
Angelica provided exceptional support in preparation for the College of Social Sciences Outstanding Student Reception and was an important part of the reception event. Thank you, Angelica, for all your hard work to ensure that the celebration of our students was so meaningful!

Rocio Quiñones Montaño, College of Social Sciences
Rocio truly went above and beyond in organizing the College of Social Sciences Outstanding Student Reception! From creating all the posters, certificates and program, to overseeing the catering and day of tasks, her careful work was essential for preparation and keeping everything on track during the reception. The event was incredibly special because of her dedicated and careful work. Thank you, Rocio!

Debra not only offered great information, customer service and was friendly the first time I stopped by, but she followed-up with an email and phone call to remind me on what I needed to submit. Thank you, Debra, for your patience and follow-up!
