Kudos & Congratulations
Congratulations to Stacey Wood (Campus Computer Support) and Dave Rasmussen (UIT Platform Services) for winning last month's prize drawing!
UIT staff recognized for their excellent work
Thanks to Nate Sanders, who was instrumental in helping me get special features activated in an online course for Continuing Education and Community Engagement. I really appreciate his willingness to problem-solve, even when the problems are mine and not his!

Bryan Peterson, Brett Tarbox, Mike Madsen, and Ryan Cooper all deserve a great big round of applause for their efforts in helping to implement the pilot programs for RSA two-factor authentication within the ITS department, as well as for our offshore medical billing vendors. They have each been amazing to work with and have spent countless hours in preparing for and supporting this effort.

I would like to nominate Vaibhav Narula for a Kudos and Congratulations. Vaibhav started at the University only a few short months ago and has already made a positive impact to the IAM team and program. Vaibhav started right around a Rebus outage and impressed us all with his dedication to the resolution and ability to hit the ground running. He also brings a wealth of knowledge to the team and is great at communicating what he knows to the team members while supporting them in their roles. I have appreciated Vaibhav’s support on the Directory Services Consolidation project and the efficiencies he brings to our projects and processes.

I’d like to give a huge shout out to the accounting team members responsible for preparing the UIT budgets (Brandon Zimmerman, Craig Stapley, Jeanne Krogen, Julia Harrison (CHPC), Matt Timpson, Wendy Janversan). The budget process is a prolonged, stressful, and challenging endeavor, that requires a great amount of collaboration to sort out the details. This team has done a fantastic job as we continue to refine the final budgets for the next fiscal year. Thank you all for your hard work!
~ Peter Panos, Finance
Tyler Sauer recently moved to a position on the Network Core team mentoring the Network Operations Center student staff. Tyler has been a great resource for us and is working hard to streamline work processes involving the student staff, freeing up more time to work on other projects and further enrich our time here with UIT.
