Works Above and Beyond

Marisol Valdez, Technology Services
Marisol consistently provides exceptional support and is always responsive, patient and willing to help. She takes ownership of requests, communicates clearly and makes sure issues are fully resolved. Her reliability and dedication make working with her a genuinely positive experience, and her efforts continually go above and beyond what is expected.

Provides Excellent Customer Service

Marie Cuningham, Accounting Services
Marie always provides the best customer service regarding Concur. She is always very patient with me when I have any questions or need any help with Concur. She takes the time to explain everything to me in detail. I would be lost in Concur without Marie.

Elena Perez, Office of Research and Sponsored Programs
Elena always goes above and beyond to help me upload administrative documents for our grants. Although she provides thorough instructions and videos on how to upload these documents, she always graciously accepts my requests for one-on-one support. I truly appreciate her patience, generosity and willingness to help. Gracias!

Saved My Bacon!

Dr. Teira Wilson,Office of Digital Accessibility
Dr. T is simply the best at making the complex tools and requirements of digital accessibility easier to understand. I’ve had the pleasure of working with her throughout the summer and into the fall semester as I learned, practiced and tried again, with her supportive expertise guiding me every step of the way. I truly could not have completed several critical documents without her help. She absolutely saved my bacon. Thanks, Dr. T!
