Works Above and Beyond

Michael Bonner, Satellite Student Union Office
The Craig School of Business celebrated our 30th Anniversary Gala at the Satellite Student Union on Sept. 30. We could not have pulled off this event that was celebrated by over 140 faculty, staff, alumni and community supporters without Mike. He went above and beyond to make sure the event came off as we had planned. His vast knowledge of music and lighting made all the difference in making this event a success. Mike has only worked on campus less than six months. He is one of a kind and such a great asset to the Fresno State community. I could not have done this event without his help and assistance.

Marie Fernandez, Office of Institutional Effectiveness
Marie supported the Management Department in helping to design and administer a peer evaluation survey for students. This project was very complex and was on a time crunch. Throughout the process Marie was extremely responsive, helpful and creative. Her support exceeded all my expectations. I am very thankful for her work.

Travis Hegerle, Technology Services
Travis responded promptly and squeezed me in between multiple appointments to ensure I had VPN access for a project I had to do the very next day. It required two visits and extra time in his schedule. He got it done and had a great and friendly attitude the entire time. Thanks Travis!

Rick Reyes, Traffic Operations
Thank you for taking the time to help me understand the correct procedure for getting doors unlocked for our performances. Your patience and kindness are above and beyond.

Provides Excellence Customer Service

Amanda Banks, Alumni Engagement and Annual Giving
I have never reserved a room in the Alumni House before and Amanda was very kind, informative and helpful throughout the entire process. She made it a very painless process and was very responsive to all my questions. Amanda, thank you for making this entire process so easy.

Jay Fowler, Technology Services
A staff member I was working with was unable to log into the VPN and I was unfamiliar with the process of getting a user set up properly. Jay was quick to respond to the slack channel with a solution and explained what the issue was. Thanks Jay!

Michael Garvey, Technology Services
I was having trouble with the new Zoom phones and Mike was quick to help me. He was able to fix the problem I was having, and he also took the time to send me documentation and tutorials on the new format to help me. Thanks for all your help Mike, it was appreciated.

Deborah Reba, Technology Services
Deborah was so helpful in our last exchange. I can only imagine how many tech issues she has to assist with daily and she was so kind and helpful on the phone. Thank you, Deborah, for all your help.

Monica Solis, Student Success Services
Every time I reach out to Monica for help, ideas, or want to share some thoughts about Bulldog Connect, she responds quickly and efficiently — with a smile. She offers many great ideas to help with advising, tracking, use of Bulldog Connect and so much more. She is a valuable resource for our campus! I appreciate you, your friendliness and can-do attitude. Thanks for all you do Monica.

Saved My Bacon

Erica Torres, Psychology
My exams were locked in my classroom AV cabinet, and I couldn't unlock the door. I went into the Psychology Department office to get help. Even though it was 12:02 p.m. Erica made me new copies of the exam for my noon class before leaving for lunch so I could give my exam. Thanks Erica.
