Kudos & Congratulations
UIT staff recognized for their excellent work
Congratulations to Jan Lovett and Roger Kowallis (both in University Support Services) for winning the last prize drawing!
A huge thank you to Nick Berriochoa from the Hardware Platform Services team for his impressive initiative, dedication, and attention to detail. Nick saw an issue and just dove in to fix it. It warms the spot where my heart would be, if I had one, to see the kind of professionalism and care that Nick showed in working this issue and coming to smart, reasonable solutions.
Thank you, Nick, and kudos for reminding us all what it looks like to be a great team player and for taking the initiative to fix the problems you encounter!

I want to give kudos to Ryan Millward from the Enterprise Security/ISO team for all of his hard work with seperate IT groups to tighten their security. This is no small task, and Ryan took it upon himself to go after it. He is doing a great job and has been a fantastic addition to the ISO team. We are glad to have him on our team.
~ Dustin Udy, Information Security Office
I recently called the Help Desk and spoke with a young man named James Jurado. He was patient, knowledgeable, helpful, kind, persistent in helping me, and tried different solutions until the issue was resolved. Thank you, James, and your team for the amazing job they do for all of us all the time.
~ Donna Jordan-Allen, TRIO Programs for Student Affairs
Matt Munro — thanks for all the help you give our team! Your insight and guidance is much appreciated!
~ Mary Smithing, Chief Technology Officer organization
I'd like to share my appreciation for a few people.
First, Eric Martinez. Eric fields many of my software update requests, and lately, those have been particularly difficult with my remote desktop feature being disabled for an ITIL exam. Not only is Eric always extremely helpful in trying to troubleshoot my issues and updating my software, he also shows immeasurable patience and kindness — such as when I made an appointment and ghosted him! Thank you, Eric. I appreciate you!
I'd also like to thank Trevor Long and Ariel Baughman. Both spent a considerable amount of time sharing with me the inner workings of the Governance, Risk & Compliance team and fielding questions about the industry. They're also just truly wonderful colleagues anyone would be lucky to work with.
Lastly, I want to thank Cassandra Van Buren. I cannot overstate how much I appreciate her support — personally and professionally. She's the best.
~ Larrisa Turner, Strategic Communication
Jesse Drake is always great to work with and always seems to be able and willing to answer any questions I throw at him (even if I’m getting a bit too much into the weeds). Just want to give him a shout-out. It’s a pleasure working with him on communication efforts for projects! Thanks, Jesse!
