I wanted to thank Brian Sames for going above and beyond to help the marketing team yesterday. Brian saw us struggling to carry a very large sign last minute across campus and immediately offered to help. He dropped everything he was doing to load it in his van and carry it across campus. THANK YOU!

Whitneye McCoy stepped up this semester (and not for the first time) to cover for an instructor going out on FMLA. She has picked up online sections and taught on multiple campuses to keep classes meeting. She is also simply a delightful human and the C&T Department is lucky to have her!

Ian Gibbons and Career Services staff
Big thanks to all Career Services staff, who volunteered to test the disablement of external media. Specifically, Ian Gibbons showed how easy it is to adapt to new processes while still getting things done. He successfully carried out his duties and presentations at an event without removable media.
