Maura did an amazing job coordinating a week of appreciation for Pride in Food Service Week, Feb 6-10th. Dining Services employees were showered with surprises all week long and Maura made it all go off seamlessly. However the weeks of planning and work behind it all does not go overlooked. Thank you Maura! - Submitted by Alison McCormick in Campus Business Services

Major kudos and a HUGE thank you to Print & Mail Services for all their incredible help. Karen Pierce and Dante Parker, in particular, were instrumental in helping our office with our move to Bostwick Lane. That whole process included confirming our new address, but the critical piece to our relocation was Dante and his efforts in helping us secure important mail for our office at the end of the calendar year. He went above and beyond to make sure mail was found, bundled together, and brought to us for speedy processing. Karen, Dante, and ALL of you in the Print Shop and Post Office: Thank you so much for everything that you do, not just at certain times of the year, but throughout the entire year! - Submitted by Amy St. John in Advancement Systems

The entire career services employer relations team would like to give a HUGE thank you to Shannon Millisor. Shannon has been instrumental this year in helping our team schedule space for our employer partners. We have many companies who are interested in recruiting our students for jobs and internships. These companies come to campus to meet students and it is because of Shannon that we can connect employers to students at various events around campus. We appreciate all you do, Shannon! Thank you for making our job easier and for helping our students get jobs! - Submitted by Ashley Pinney in Alumni & Career Services
