I appreciate you submitting Eagle Assist tickets on behalf of students who have a name change and want their email address updated to match their legal name. It is great customer service to complete that step for the student instead of leaving it up to them to call the IT Help Desk.

Heather gave her time to answer some advising questions for me. This led to her extending herself to meet with me and others in the Education Department to clarify some further advising concerns. She went above and beyond to even create documents to help us with our advising sessions. So GRATEFUL!
