Congratulations to Emily Rushton, UIT Project Management Office, on the occasion of achieving an important professional milestone: successfully fulfilling all the requirements for the Project Management Professional (PMP) certification! It's a notoriously tough certification to earn, and I'm very happy for you.

~ Cassandra Van Buren, UIT Strategic Communication


I would like to take a moment to recognize Steve Maloy. Steve, along with the rest of the Unified Communications team, is very busy, but he always takes a little extra time to explain the inner workings of a fix, or if there is troubleshooting involved, he is sure to work with you one on one to get to the root of the issue. He has helped me solve many issues that were of great impact to the users in a fashion that allowed me to keep great communication with those affected.

Thank you for all your help, Steve!

~ Hayden Waters, Network Support, Student Services Building


Thank you to McKenzie Spehar, UIT Help Desk agent, for her excellent and patient help with a recent IT issue. I applaud her strong trouble-shooting skills, personable communication, and warmth. She's received kudos from others via the UIT Customer Service survey, so I know I'm not the only one who appreciates working with her.

~ Cassandra Van Buren, UIT Strategic Communication


We might be the neediest group that Samantha Lankford has ever worked with, haha. We sure appreciate her, though! Sam, you’re the best!

~ Blake Bohe, Interventional Radiology


Care Navigation has been working towards integrating some ServiceNow reporting data into a dashboard with call center statistics. Jasmine Haywood was very responsive to some questions and helped us through some technical challenges. I appreciated her quick response and willingness to help. Thank you, Jasmine!

~ Desirae Allen, Communications Infrastructure
